Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Whether or not a backdoor Roth conversion is a taxable event depends upon whether or not you have pretax money in IRAs a the time the conversion is done.  If you don't have any IRAs with tax deductible contributions or tax deferred gains, then the backdoor conversion is tax free.
