Max your Roth first. You should be planning to earn more than 82k when you retire

Seems like a reasonable mix. The bigger question is, can you afford to contribute the max?

Unfortunately I cannot afford to contribute max at the moment. Paying back 3 loans.

SM1, you think I should reverse my contribution just to start off with?

OP, as an example - If you think you will make 100k/yr. in retirement, do Roth until your salary becomes more than 100k. That way, you pay at the lower tax bracket at both points in your life

I just believe you will likely make more retiring and taxes will increase between now and your retirement. So at the very least, I’d reverse your contribution. But keep in mind that will impact your pay since your taxes will go up

Okay.. Will look into seeing what's feasible for me and make the best choice on the percentage.. Thanks SM1 and A1

An accrual based C-Corp taxpayer completed a Chapter 11 reorganization and converted a total of $1M A/P to suppliers into a $410K LT note (a $590K liability reduction). Should we view this $590K as the Sec. 108(a)(1)(A) excludable income? After reading through IRS Pub 4681, I think it makes sense to view the $590 as "Reduced Price After Purchase", but not
