If I roll my old employers Roth 401k into a Roth IRA, do I just run into issues if I was to execute a back door Roth IRA conversion *in that same calendar year*, or would I run into issues several years down the line as well.

If you have a traditional IRA (including rollover of employer match) it will cause a pro rata portion of your backdoor IRA to be taxable going forward until/unless resolved.

If it's a small % of total it's additional tracking but not necessarily a huge tax impact. If you can roll that portion into new employer's 401k then none taxable and no additional tracking going forward.

I don’t think you run into issues. Isn’t Roth Roth here?

Your employer match is pre-tax, so that portion will need to roll into a Traditional IRA. That will mess up your conversion due to the pro rata rule. You can get around it by rolling that Traditional IRA amount into your current employer 401(k) so that your Traditional IRA balance is exactly the amount you want to convert to a Roth IRA.

My question is will that mess up the conversion only if if the conversion was being done in this calendar year or will it mess it up in future calendar years as well
