Get your taxes done using TurboTax
If you contributed to your Roth IRA and also made a non-deductible contribution to your Traditional IRA with the intention of converting that to a Roth IRA, then you may have exceeded your contribution limit. The limit is imposed on the combination of contributions to both types of IRAs within a given year.
So, the 'backdoor' contribution is essentially limited to your annual IRA contribution limit based on your age.
Take a look at the following TurboTax article for more details: Can I contribute to both a Traditional and a Roth IRA?
There is no limit imposed when just converting a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, as in the case for the original question shown above.
