Talk:Backdoor Roth

This forum thread: Backdoor Both -- please contribute has a lot of information on how to minimize tax impacts. I don't know how to incorporate the information (if it should be incorporated?), nor how to address the lack of cited sources.

Should this thread - Backdoor Both -- please contribute (direct link to post) be in the Roth IRA page as suggested? I'm not sure on what to put in the article content.

"'I didn't know you could 'roll-in' a rollover' IRA back into some employers 401(k) plans?"

Any thoughts?

"Let me suggest to slightly change the title of the Wiki page to 'Backdoor Roth IRA Contribution'. Or maybe 'Roth IRA Backdoor Contribution' would be better English. Call me silly, but I had the misperception that this was a one-time mechanism to open a Roth and transfer money on it. I had not perceived that this is actually a contribution mechanism that you can use as many times as you wish. Nothing is wrong in the text in this respect, it was just a misperception, but it seems to me that making the title more specific would help. Many thanks once again to the editors of those great Wiki pages. Siamond."

Any thoughts?

While the concept of a backdoor Roth IRA is about contribution methodology, changing the title assumes one already knows that fact. New investors may be mislead with "contribution" in the title. --LadyGeek 21:20, 30 January 2014 (CST)
