LLM的回答,看上去靠谱但不知道是不是对的
To calculate the tax impact of a backdoor Roth conversion when you have both pre-tax and after-tax contributions in a Traditional IRA, you need to follow these steps carefully, considering the pro-rata rule for IRA conversions. Here’s a structured approach to understanding the tax implications:
Given Information:
- Total Traditional IRA Balance: $180,000
- Pre-tax amount: $180,000 (entire balance since no after-tax contributions were mentioned prior to the $7,200 contribution)
- After-tax contribution: $7,200
- Total Traditional IRA balance after contribution: $180,000 + $7,200 = $187,200
- Amount to be converted to Roth IRA: $7,200 (backdoor Roth conversion)
Step-by-Step Calculation:
1. Determine the Pro-Rata Share of Pre-tax and After-tax Amounts:
Since you are performing a conversion under the pro-rata rule, the IRS considers the ratio of pre-tax to total IRA funds to determine the taxable portion of the conversion.
Pre-tax ratio=Total IRA balancePre-tax amount=187,200180,000
2. Calculate the Pre-tax Ratio:
Pre-tax ratio=187,200180,000≈0.9615
3. Determine the Taxable Portion of the Conversion:
The taxable portion of the conversion is based on the pre-tax ratio:
Taxable portion=Amount converted×Pre-tax ratio=7,200×0.9615≈6,922.80
4. Determine the Non-taxable Portion of the Conversion:
The non-taxable portion is the remainder of the converted amount:
Non-taxable portion=Amount converted−Taxable portion=7,200−6,922.80=277.20
Summary of the Conversion:
- Taxable portion: $6,922.80
- Non-taxable portion: $277.20
Tax Calculation:
You will need to add the taxable portion of the conversion ($6,922.80) to your gross income for the year. The tax on this amount will depend on your marginal tax bracket. For illustration, let’s assume you fall into the 22% bracket:
Tax on conversion=6,922.80×0.22≈1,523.02
