I have a “Rollover IRA” account that I’ve had for years which contains funds rolled over from old employer 401k account. Found out if I want to open a new “Traditional IRA” account to contribute $6000 this year and roll it over to a “Roth IRA” account (Backdoor IRA), that this would cause tax complications. What should I do with the “Rollover IRA” account? Roll it over to my Accenture 401k? Are there any smarter options? Appreciate the advice.

If Accenture takes rollovers from an IRA, that is the best way. Otherwise you will pay some taxes if you try to do backdoor. Depends on how large the rollover Ira is. If small, you could bite the bullet and just pay tax on it all or keep doing backdoor Roth and bleed the tax in over time.

If you contributed 6k this and the contribution is non deductible, you would have 6k of basis. So any conversion is 60/66 taxable. If you converted it all 66k this year, it would cause 60k of income, the original balance. If you just converted the 6k you contribute this year, about 5500 would be from the deducted prior balance and therefore taxable and 500 of the conversion from the nondeductible contribution and therefore non taxable. Your would still have 5500 of basis in the 60k traditional Ira balance. To make it easy assume no growth. Next year you contribute 6k and convert 6K. You will have 11.5 of basis, so your 2023 conversion would be 54.5/66 taxable. So 5k would be taxable. The taxable portion will keep going down. If you want to convert the traditional to Roth, this may be less painful and rolling it into the 401k would allow you to avoid this and defer tax

Roll to 401k, end of story

I just did this, was fairly painless.

We’re buying in a high property tax state where taxes could be 4% (think 12K taxes on 600K home). Should we get a 500K house or get a 800K - 900K (which represents most I’m willing to spend)
