Hypothetically, if BBB was delayed and brought to the Senate floor next year (let's say February 2022) and passed, and the January 1st date for ending Roth conversions is left unchanged, what would happen to Americans who performed After-Tax 401k to Roth conversions in January? Would 401k custodians have to reverse the transactions and somehow factor in gains earned in users' Roth accounts since the conversion? Could there be penalties?

You’re asking about hypothetical penalties on a bill that hasn’t been passed on a hypothetical timeline that hasn’t happened. No one knows.

PC1 has it right but the problem is many of us need to decide by no later than next week if we want to do an after tax 401k contribution on our final 2021 paycheck. We won't be able to convert it to Roth until early Jan 2022 so it isn't obvious what we should do.

It doesn't seem like the Senate is going to look at this until the week of 12/13 which is too late for me to change contribution rate so I'll probably stop it early.

That said, while there is precedent to have income taxe rate changes be retroactive to beginning of the year it wouldn't seem fair to go back and penalize you for doing backdoor/mega backdoor in January if it was legal at the time.

Wondering if I should pay the TX house in cash & take out a mortgage for the CA house, or split the $600k across both and take out 2 mortgages, or pay off the TX house and use a HELOC for the CA house. Thnx!

Hey 🐠,

I am approaching the Roth IRA income limit, and have a pre-existing Roth IRA that was not converted from a traditional account. Is there a way for me to take advantage of the backdoor Roth loophole while funneling the money into my current Roth? Or, do I have to set up a new account, convert it to Roth, and make all future contributions into that account? I’ve already asked my broker, and they have not been the least bit helpful. Thanks!
