Roth IRA conversion affect IRA contribution eligibility

Married filing jointly. I converted my funds in traditional IRA to Roth IRA this year which bumped up the taxable income to over $208,000. Will this affect my contribution to Roth IRA eligibility? Will I be able to still contribute $6000 to Roth IRA this year?

No.  In calculating your modified AGI for the purpose of the limitation on Roth IRA contributions, the amount of your Roth conversion and taxable rollovers from qualified retirement plans to a Roth IRA are subtracted out.  However, taxable In-plan Roth Rollovers from the traditional account in a qualified retirement plan like a 401(k) to the Roth account in that same plan are not subtracted out.
