Can someone walk me through how to do a backdoor Roth. I have a traditional IRA with Vanguard and with the max contributed for this year. But I don’t have a Roth account. Can I still roll the $$ over? Is there any point to rolling it over now while I’m above the Roth contribution limit? Or should I wait until I leave this job for a lower paying gig sometime in the next few years? Also, I I am maxing out my 401k and cannot take a dedication on the contributions to my traditional IRA.

I recently did this through vanguard. When you click the roll to roth ira it walks you through the process, it is straightforward.

We’re you able to deduct any of traditional Ira? Do you have a balance in traditional Ira other than non deductible traditional amount?

^ Will add that even if you contribute to a Roth directly, you can recharacterize those contribution to a traditional IRA contribution and then convert them back to Roth. But I agree you should just contribute to the traditional directly and then convert.
