Retirement tax questions

Thank you for your response as it does help clarify things.

 

It is not that I do not think the backdoor Roth is not allowed, more that I am intimidated by the process and do not want to make any more tax errors moving forward. If you have any advice on how to do this with the traditional IRA funds at some point this calendar year I would appreciate it as my IRA custodian is not familiar with it, which may be a larger problem.

 

I will plan on leaving the excess 10,125 that I failed to withdraw in time in my account until December to help offset the additional 6% penalty that I will pay for my 2024 excess contributions still in the account.

 

Thanks again
