MEGA ROTH 2023: How To Make A Million Tax Free

[@FennaVa]

I am 53 years old and consider myself to be a high earner. My job provides me the option to contribute the employer contributions to my Roth 401k. Should I do that or should I continue to direct that to my Traditional 401k ahead of retirement?

[@ralfbrown-kl1gp]

You're doing well for yourself but it is better to seek help from a professional. I am sure that an expert with experience provides more edge than a KZbinr.

[@marcellasilva4015]

As a high income earner can you easily afford to contribute max of $22,500 to your traditional 401(k) and towards retirement? What is your Federal Tax Bracket and percentage of company match? I f you don't know all this then its best you consult with an advisor.

[@noahzimmerman-yg6qt]

Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service?

[@marcellasilva4015]

The decision on when to pick an Adviser is a very personal one. I take guidance from Sharon Ann Meny, to meet my growth goals and avoid mistakes, she's well-qualified and her page can be easily found on the net.

[@GeorgianaScallion]

I just googled her now and I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.

[@matturner8]

Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. I retired with 5 million dollars

[@emiliabucks33]

I bet you didn't do that without a financial advisor. I’m also closing in on retirement, and I have benefitted much from using a financial advisor. I didn’t really start early, so I knew the compound interest of index fund investing would not work for me. Funny how I pulled in more profit than some of my peers who have been investing for many years.

[@matturner8]

Haha. I definitely didn't pull that in myself. I knew next to nothing in finance. A good financial advisor really does make a lot of difference.

[@Johnlarry12]

Please who is the consultant that assist you with your investment and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?

[@matturner8]

Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with Carol Vivian Constable for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.

[@kurtKking]

This is such an important topic. I have family in FL and TX and I tell people all the time not to fall for the no income tax narrative. Both of these states have no income tax and my relatives always complain about their absurdly high property tax, sales tax and other various fees. You have to look at the total tax (and fee) picture, not just income tax.

[@donovantobs]

For sure! You need to think about all the taxes and fees, not just income tax. I think financial advisors can really help by looking at your whole financial picture, cutting down on any extra costs, and finding ways to handle property taxes smartly. This can take a load off homeowners, especially in places like FL and TX where taxes can be a bit tricky

[@AmithKaury]

You're absolutely right about the importance of having a financial advisor. When I moved from California to Texas as a businessman, my advisor handled stock trading for me, which enabled me to buy two homes valued at $1.8 million using the profits. Although Texas property taxes are similar to California's without Prop 13, not having to deal with California state income taxes has greatly boosted my financial situation.

[@rachelonigirl]

Despite the ups and downs in the stock market, you've managed to turn your investments into good profits. Could you share the name of your advisor? I have $300k saved up and ready to invest. Letting money sit idle isn’t my style as well, I’d rather put it to work and keep it growing.

[@AmithKaury]

Becoming a millionaire through a Roth IRA or a 401(k) involves different strategies for maximizing profits. A Roth IRA offers tax-free withdrawals in retirement, which can be advantageous if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket later in life. On the other hand, a 401(k) provides tax-deferred growth and potential employer contributions, boosting your savings. The optimal choice depends on factors like your current and future tax situation, employer match, and investment options. Consulting a financial advisor can help tailor a strategy that aligns with your financial goals and circumstances.

[@CindyValenti]

Prioritizing effective personal finance management holds greater significance than the sheer amount saved, irrespective of income source. Consulting a certified financial advisor can offer tailored strategies to optimize financial results by reducing expenses and enhancing income, regardless of whether it's earned through employment or investments.

There is also no earned income requirement to convert to a Roth. As long as you have a balance in an IRA, in theory, you can keep converting to a Roth as long as you like. so i can perceive the preference for 401(k)'s, I still want to know how best to compound at least $2m in retirement savings.

Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher that taught me a lesson at 18. That lesson was: for every huge, frivoluos purchase you make, you need to have an investment double it's worth, this doesn't necessarily mean you should always invest when you make a purchase, it simply means living within your means. Varied sources of income is wise and especially like i said, living within your means. Whenever you're about to make a huge, dumb purchase that doesn't add value think about taxes and how you get your income. I made $272k combined net last year and paid no Federal taxes.

In my opinion, I'd say the IRS is a huge crime syndicate. They count on people folding when they see these bogus collection letters.

It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

At any age when you convert to ROTH IRA from 401k, IT WILL CREATE A TAX BILL, Which will add to your taxable income. You can convert any amount from IRA to Roth IRA but the amount you convert to ROTH will be added to your taxable income for the year, which can push your income to a higher tax bracket. To my understanding back door Roth is allowed as long as you pay tax on it in the year you have converted to ROTH, once it goes to ROTH it will grow and withdraw tax-free

Not tracking on one point. Rolling over the after-tax is slam dunk because now it’s got Roth benefits. But rolling over the pre-tax 401K to Roth makes it taxable on that Day 2. The benefits of pre-tax are that a) you build returns from the taxable portion too, b) you’re in a higher tax bracket now and lower bracket when you need the money. So to me, rolling over the pre-tax portion now and paying taxes in your highest bracket doesn’t seem like a slam dunk decision. If you do so when young or expect really high returns, maybe. But if you’re 50 and working in a high tax bracket with fewer years to invest before withdrawing, maybe not.

@@fahlou2019 let's say for backdoor roth, you want to put in $6k into your (traditional/roll over) IRA and move that $6k into roth IRA because you already paid income tax on that $6k. Let's assume your (traditional/roll over)IRA account already had $10k (pretax savings) from previous years. If you want to move your $6k (already paid income tax for it) from rollover IRA to roth IRA, you will also need to move 100% of that pre-existing $10k in your rollover IRA account to your roth IRA account and pay tax on that pre-existing $10k.

Also when you put money into the traditional ira that you are specifically going to rollover you put it into the holding account in the ira. DO NOT INVEST IT IN THE TRADITIONAL IRA. If you do, once you roll it over you will owe taxes on the gains.

Investing in Roth IRA can be a good choice since they are funded with after tax dollars, your contributions can grow tax-free over time. When you withdraw money from your Roth IRA in retirement, you won’t have to pay tax on it, which will help you keep more of your hard-earned money. Compounding is the process of earning interest on your initial investment, as well as on the interest that investment earns. This means that over time, your investment can grow exponentially. So the earlier you start investing, the more time your investment has to grow through compounding.

In order to do the back door contribution, you can only have one traditional IRA open. You have to have to be able to report $0 cost basis to the IRS. So, if you have multiple traditional IRAs (e.g., you rolled a 401(k) over from a previous employer), you will need to roll over those accounts to your current employer's traditional 401(k) plan. That way, when you make your traditional IRA contribution and then do the ROTH conversion, you can report a $0 cost basis. The IRS considers all open traditional IRA when calculating the cost basis. Some brokerage firms allow you to convert immediately. You do not want to leave the money in the traditional IRA long enough to earn a dividend, interest, or a capital gain. Otherwise, you will have a tax liability. Before you make a back door contribution/conversion, please do talk to an accountant first.

Must be self-directed Roth to do real estates. Without "self-directed", the money can only be used for Wall Street bets, and that's when "risks" come in.

I am retired. I have money in a 401K about $850K. How can I convert to a ROTH IRA without paying much tax? Thanks. Tony Munoz

[@davidmurrell8543]

You don’t have to convert traditional Ira into Roth before back dooring it. You can roll it over into a current 401k plan and save on paying taxes now.

I have been doing these exact steps prior to seeing this video and it’s great to see that I have been correct all along. Thanks for the education and explanation

[@Ochtane101]

Mark, it’s nice to meet you. I’m watching you, on Utube, and I was scammed out of several thousand dollars, online, by a scammer. Stupid me! This is right after I retired from my civil service job, of 26 years? Talk about feeling deflated? I filed with the FBI, on this matter, and haven’t heard anything? I’m 53, and want to move south from CT, like a lot of people do? I wish I had someone like you, to help me, figure out, how to earn money, without having to go back to work. God bless you for trying to help people 👍

Risk and return have a positive correlation. There’s a reason why syndications pay more than RR investments. No one ever brags about their losses, hence you rarely hear about em.

Question: For < 50 the limit is $72500 -$ 22500 pretax contribution - $ company match if any = back door Roth. For > 50 the limit is $ 81000-$30000 pretax- $ company match if any = back door Roth who are the people can contribute to 72000, 81000 ?

[@omarchaudhry3542]

asking for clarification, please see questions below: #1-$6500 = ROTH front door #2-$22,500 = 401k -->IRA. pre tax contribution #3-$ company match if there is one #4-$43,500 = self after tax contribution so that #2+#3+#4 = $66,000 on day 2, which of the following do you convert to ROTH: #4 only the $43,000 or $66,000 total

[@SZ04305]

#1 is in Roth IRA already, no need to convert; #2 yes or no, it’s ur pre-tax contribution, if u covert now, u need to pay tax based on ur tax rate, if u think ur tax rate will be lower when u retire, u can wait till then; #3 ask ur HR, if it’s pre-tax, same as #2; if it’s after tax, same as #4; #4, YES convert!

[@lisapartynski1018]

If you already have traditional IRA how do you get around the 8606 form and have it still be 100 percent on the withdrawl side

[@bobatl4990]

Our 401(k) fiduciary replied this would not work for our company: The most important is that it negates the “deemed to pass” results that come from utilizing the safe harbor provisions for the Average Deferral Percentage (ADP) and Average Contributions Percentage (ACP) tests. Any after-tax contributions would be subject to the ACP test. Depending on who decides to make those contributions, if not enough non highly compensated employees (NHCE’s) also fund that contribution, those who did fund would have to take refunds subject to taxation as the test would fail. Anyone who would fund the After-tax would first have to fund the maximum of the annual deferral limit. Most NHCE’s would not have enough money to fund the maximum deferral and then additional after tax contributions.

[@Toneehulk504]

When you say convert to Roth on day 2, can you keep converting on a bi weekly basis when you contribution are taken out of your paycheck?

[@tiffanisanchez6951]

Yes, I would like to know this as well

[@benh9371]

When you do it with a 401k this is called an in-plan conversion. You can do it as often as you put money into the account. In fact Fidelity offers this on auto pilot, they will instantly recharacterize your after tax contributions to Roth if you turn the setting on in your account. I am sure other brokerages do as well.

[@AveeshSingroha-oh5mx]

Can you expand on your answer to the very first question relating to needed to convert any existing regular IRAs to Roths before you can do the bottom piece

[@shanew7361]

You have to pay taxes when you convert your regular ira to a roth ira, and that can be a huge hit to some.

[@toyarj37]

Only if you had pre tax money in it. That’s why most people that do this have two traditional IRAs. One for pre tax money and one where they don’t take the deduction on money put into the traditional so that it can be immediately rolled over once funds have settled. Also when you put money into the traditional ira that you are specifically going to rollover you put it into the holding account in the ira. DO NOT INVEST IT IN THE TRADITIONAL IRA. If you do, once you roll it over you will owe taxes on the gains. That’s why you want to put money into the traditional and immediately roll it over once funds have settled so it doesn’t really have a chance to grow. You might have made a few Pennie’s but the irs ain’t worried about that

There is also no earned income requirement to convert to a Roth. As long as you have a balance in an IRA, in theory, you can keep converting to a Roth as long as you like. But how best can i compound at least $2m in retirement savings without holding cash?

[@kansasmile]

I think you're better off with majority investment in S&P500 and uprising equities in view of retirement cos they always outperform. Alternatively speaking to a certified market strategist can help with pointers on equities to acquire

@@rafiqtsm1451 In this example, these oil workers didn't have expensive rent, so they can save up that to put back into their roth. For people who have to pay rent and food in major cities, and still want to max out this strategy, they may have to make like at least $200K a year

Unfortunately in August 2018 I had to drain my ROTH IRA contributions for over 20 years (maxed every year) and take out an additional once in a lifetime 10k in profits to avoid penalties and taxes in order to put a down payment in the house I live in today. But I didn’t take out another penny, then maxed out the contribution again for 2023 and 2024 to rebuild it and still ahead of the curve for a 37 year old.
