Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The original question (as I understood it) asked if they did a Traditional IRA to Roth *conversion* would that conversion be added to the MAGI to limit a separate Roth *contribution* in the same year.   The answer is no, as the IRS Pub 590A MAGI worksheet 2-1  says, a conversion is subtracted from the AGI to determine the MAGI for Roth contribution limits so the amount of conversion does not count.

 

(TurboTax follows that rule - Traditional IRA to Roth conversions  are not added to the MAGI for the purpose of limiting Roth contributions.)
