Our household income is 400k. Are we eligible to contribute to a traditional IRA? I’m pretty sure we can’t but wanted to confirm. Currently contributing to 401k and doing a mega backdoor Roth IRA.

Anything else we can do to save or defer taxes now or in the future? I can’t do HSA due to a different health plan and no kids yet, so no 529 plan yet. Anything else that I’m missing?

Seattle WA so no state tax

You are always eligible to contribute to a traditional Ira but you are not eligible for a tax deduction. I think a brokerage account is better than a nondeductible traditional IRA. Can you do a backdoor Roth IRA instead?

Ah thanks for explaining!

My investing strategy is just to DCA into an S&P 500 index fund and keep buying and holding. If I understand correctly, the sole disadvantage this has compared to a tax sheltered retirement account is that the quarterly dividends will be taxed? But even so, they’ll be taxed at a lower qualified dividend rate since I’m automatically reinvesting those dividends.
