BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Kyle Beckhusen joins us in our recent Virtual U.S. Financial Advisors podcast episode. He started his college career in engineering but switched to a major in finance after realizing his passion for numbers and people. Kyle interned with a Fortune 500 company for two years, which then led to a job as a financial representative selling life and disability insurance. He then went on to pursue his CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNING™ designation and, with over a decade of experience, is now a Senior Financial Advisor at Kathleen S Wright Associates Inc.
In our conversation with Kyle Beckhusen, he explains the Roth IRA and Backdoor Roth IRA, and how they differ in terms of income eligibility. A Roth IRA is a retirement account where you can invest money after you've paid taxes on it, and you can withdraw the money tax-free in retirement.
However, there are income limits that determine who can contribute to a Roth IRA directly. The income phaseouts for 2023 Roth IRA contributions are $138K-$153K for single filers and $218K-$228K for married couples filing jointly. In such cases, Kyle recommends using the Backdoor Roth IRA method if you are above those thresholds.
Furthermore, Kyle tells us that the Backdoor Roth IRA method is actually a legal loophole in the tax code. The method allows individuals above the income limits to contribute indirectly to a Roth IRA..by contributing to a non-deductible traditional IRA first and then converting that contribution to the Roth IRA. The annual contribution limit for 2023 is $6,500.
