Every busy season for the past 10 years, when I tell people I’m busy, they nod sympathetically and say, “because of taxes right?”. I’m in audit. I used to explain, but now I just nod along.

My friends keep asking for tax advice even though I am in audit. Don't understand why

HNY all! I have multiple rollover and traditional IRAs, as well as a solo 401k. But (since I started paying attention to this kind of thing) have always been over the income limit to start a Roth IRA. I’ve also not done much contributing in the last few years due to purchasing an apartment and saving for renovations. Cue pandemic joblessness... if married filing separately, would you say it’s a good idea to start a Roth while under the income limit, even in this climate? Any reason not to?
