下面“徒劳" 同学提到了 backdoor IRA conversion,俺以前经常听说这个,一直没有引起注意,因为俺是经历过熊市的,不能肯定投资就一定赚钱,如果是亏钱了,那不是白转了吗?不仅如此,还不能减税了。
但是现在既然大家都说好,我也想试一试。
问题来了,还是税的问题,如果你所有IRA账户里面,一部分是税后的(你现在要转的那部分),一部分是税前的(以前放在IRA或者401K的那部分),那么转成 ROTH 之后,还是要按比例交税的,相当于交两次税(一次是你放进去IRA 的是税后的钱,一次是转成 ROTH 的时候要按比例交税),对吧?
If all of your traditional IRAs combined consist of, say, 70% pre-tax money and 30% after-tax money, that ratio determines what percentage of the money you convert to a Roth is going to be taxable. In this example, no matter how much money you convert or which IRA account you pull the money from, 70% of the amount you convert to the Roth will be taxable. You can't choose to convert only after-tax money; the IRS won't allow it.
