Folks who use a backdoor for tIRA to Roth, do you have 2 accounts? Once the conversion goes through, the tIRA remains empty until your next deposit ?

What are the limitations if my tIRA contributions were pretax?

You can close the tIRA once you transfer (it gives you this option) or keep it open with no balance, doesn’t really matter. If you’re contributing pre-tax money to the tIRA then you’ll have to pay taxes on the conversion. Regardless the total contribution limit is $6k / year (for 2020) for IRAs (doesn’t matter if it’s pre-tax, post-tax, Roth IRA, tIRA, or any combination, total can’t go above $6k)

And 2) Any insight into how this is done - Vanguard doesn’t let me add more than $6k as it’s above the individual limit. I tried searching the bowl for specific answers but wasn’t successful. Inputs appreciated.
