Oh boy, I think I'm in a bit of a pickle now, I did a Backdoor Roth IRA conversion of the $5500 in 2016, when I had a Rollover IRA already. You need to amend your 1040 and pay the extra tax. Per discussion below you will also need to either fill out an 8606 for the first time or fix the one you fil...

If you have a rollover IRA, you should not use the back door at all. Whatever is in tIRA, Rollover IRA, SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA in your name at the end of the year will be pro-rated with the Roth conversion step of your back door procedure. You don't want that.

Hi - in order to execute the Backdoor Roth IRA, I'd contribute to an empty Traditional IRA ($5500), and then execute the conversion to an existing Roth IRA. The Traditional IRA goes back to $0 and remains empty for a year. I may have to close the Traditional IRA however, per my compliance department...

One check / wire on Dec 1, although landlord can wait till Jan 1 2017 if that helps?

If 12 months rent is paid up front in 2016 for a Dec 2016 to 2017 term, how is that filed for tax purposes on the Landlord's return? Is all income supposed to be realized in 2016, which inflates 2016 income tremendously?

When and if you do rollovers is irrelevant.

Thanks so much for clarifying.

If the last after-tax contribution is Dec 31, 2016, do I have 60 days (in 2017) to roll it over for it to count towards the $53K limit for 2016, and not impact the 2017 limit?

No. The Defined Contribution cap you mention applies just to employer sponsored plans (e.g., 401k, 403b). The IRA cap is entirely separate. An employee with both a DC plan set up by his/her employer at work and an IRA ("Individual Retirement Arrangement") that s/he set up at a financial i...

Here’s an example - is it: $53,000 - $18,000 (401K) – $8,000 (example 401K match) - $5,500 Roth = $21,500 allowable after tax contributions OR $53,000 - $18,000 (401K) – $8,000 (example 401K match) = $27,000 allowable after tax c...
