  • If you're looking for a step-by-step tutorial on how to invest in a backdoor Roth IRA with Fidelity, look no further! In this video, I'll break down the process of opening a Roth or backdoor Roth IRA in easy-to-follow steps. I’ll also share why I like investing in Target Date Funds for an easy way to invest. Start planning for your financial future today!
    s/o to my financial advisor Todd. Since I get scared about talking about investing, Todd double checked all the info in this video :)

    *Great video!! I have a Roth 401k with my company I contribute 8% of my income to; only need to contribute 7% to get a 50% match. So counting my Roth IRA contributions, my Roth 401K contributions and employer match. My total retirement contributions is 27.7% of a $43,000 in earned income.*

      My main concern now is how can we generate more revenue during quantitative times? I can't afford to see my 401k crumble to dust.

      My FA, Megyn Beth's strategy is the best at the moment, I recommend it for beginners because it is perfect for now and it is known.

    • @glenna12

      Yeah, since meeting Megyn Beth, I now agree that with an expert managing your portfolio, the rate of profit high, with less risk.

      All good Invesstors are conversant with Megyn beth, She's unique in the field just got to keep to her instructions and you'd Excel.. starting early is the best.

    Wow, Aja went from financially broke with tons of student debt to now making too much money to invest into Roth the regular way that she has to do back door 😂amazing transition. Good inspiration to all the rest of the people who are heavily in debt but also have the same qualities like her

    I’m already a fidelity account owner. My tax accountant told me to do the back door method yesterday. I did the money xfer from my bank to fidelity yesterday and it was reflected in my balance as of yesterday! Was super quick. I will transfer to Roth on Monday per my accountant’s instruction

  • @kgal1298
    @kgal1298 Před měsícem +4

    It's funny why do so many finance guys just now show this process? I feel like this is one of the few videos I've seen on here that actually showed it being done. I appreciate it it's easy to follow. I really need to start doing this I do have a traditional, but I'm also trying to limit my tax liability more. I think I owed 16K in taxes last year.

    • @bngr_bngr
      @bngr_bngr Před měsícem

      Careful you don’t convert to much into a Roth each year because it will push you into a higher tax bracket.

    • @chelseacohen3465
      @chelseacohen3465 Před měsícem

      Do more research since you already have a traditional IRA. I believe it complicates things if you’ve already gotten a tax break on those dollars. To do this you need to put after tax dollars into the traditional and then convert them into a Roth

  • @throughandreaseyes
    @throughandreaseyes Před měsícem +1

    Dumb question, what is a backdoor roth and the difference between it and an ira? And if I contribute to 401k and roth would it need to total 6.5k?

    Can you cover how to do tax reporting on a roth that is funded the following year its for?

  • @TheLadyDanielle
    @TheLadyDanielle Před měsícem +1

    The IRS calls this a Roth Conversion.
    I work for a mutual fund company and we do these everyday. Luckily, investors don’t have the ability to do it online themselves though. We’d be getting so many correction requests.

  • @CarolinaVasquezSN
    @CarolinaVasquezSN Před měsícem

    I love what you are teaching ❤ or showing how to do it. Just make sure to let everyone know that when they do this transfer of IRA’s they will be charged with taxes from the transfer of Traditional to Roth upfront.

  • @Daisy.368

    Hey Aja, Can you tell us the purpose in using the backdoor Roth IRA versus just doing the a Roth? For example, the Roth has one less step versus the backdoor but what does that actually mean for us? Will it change anything in getting taxed?

  • @KnittyMatcha

    • @modelno2004
      @modelno2004 Před měsícem +1

      Been looking into this for years. It’s SOOOO difficult to find someone to explain it simply. Most people tell me to default to a CPA or tax professional. Neither of which want to give up that secret for free.

    • @fdfgfdgdfgfddf
      @fdfgfdgdfgfddf Před měsícem

      I’ve just called my previous 401k company (in my case fidelity) and asked them to roll it over (pretty much transfer it over) to my current retirement account (in my case now I have a 403b). They mailed me a check payable to the company where my current retirement account is and then I mailed that check to my current retirement account company. @lauren.wagstarr

    • @vvnlewin
      @vvnlewin Před 29 dny

      I agree! I rolled over my 401k and now have a Rollover IRA but not sure how or where to put my investments?

  • @krnphan
    @krnphan Před měsícem +1

    Ajaaaa!!! I wish this video had come sooner! Thank you so much!
    I was wondering if you or the community could comment on what happens with the interest accrued while sitting in the traditional account before transferring? Is it taxed? I did max 6500 last year and it accrued a little interest before I moved it over and I didn’t know what to do with the little bit!! 😬
    Also I would like to include that people shouldn’t forget to file the tax form 8606

    • @bngr_bngr
      @bngr_bngr Před měsícem

      It’s hard to say by your brief description but it would be added to your taxable income. How much would depend on several factors such as having other IRS accounts.

    @rachelsunderland2413 Před měsícem +1

    Enjoying the content! Just want to mention the pro-rata rule may apply if doing the backdoor roth, which will come into play if you have money in pre-tax (non-roth) ira accounts

    • @bngr_bngr
      @bngr_bngr Před měsícem

      People can be pushed into a higher tax bracket by doing the conversion. Especially if they take the IRA contribution as a deduction against income.

  • @jeannewong3489
    @jeannewong3489 Před měsícem +2

    I heard any money placed into a Roth account is taxed at your current tax rate but once you retire, the money you pull out of that Roth account is not taxed.

    • @bngr_bngr
      @bngr_bngr Před měsícem +1

      This video is problematic for several reasons. One of them is the total lack of discussion of any tax implications doing a conversion. It’s possible to be taxed for doing the conversion and pushing your income into a higher tax bracket. Of course if you already have other IRA accounts then they are considered when calculating the tax. Of course you will need to set up a new Roth account each year to protect your self from a possible audit of pre and post tax contributions.

    • @BrutusHiatus
      @BrutusHiatus Před měsícem

      Not entirely correct. Money contributed to a Roth is already tax (after you get your net pay in your paycheck). When you retire, it is not taxed. If you pull out money before 59.5 years of age, then you will be taxed and penalties will apply.

  • @ccap3211
    @ccap3211 Před měsícem

    I keep seeing videos about how putting money in IUL’s (indexed universal life insurance) is more lucrative and you can take out loans against yourself. I’ve I also heard that they’re scams so idk.

  • @cheeketamabone1205
    @cheeketamabone1205 Před měsícem

    If I role over my funds from another institution to another pre-existing account into a Roth. Can I still do the back door Roth? I thought taxes would have to be paid before your can open the Roth? Thanks Aja for the information.

  • @akirebara
    @akirebara Před měsícem

    Wait, so for me, I don't have a traditional. I just have Roth IRA but I'm a single filer and make less than $100K a year. Is this OK? Or should I also have a traditional?

    • @rachelsunderland2413
      @rachelsunderland2413 Před měsícem +2

      the traditional is for the backdoor roth (over income limit), otherwise you contribute directly
