ANECDOTE

Sister Calls To Settle Roth Dispute

  • Diane called to settle a dispute about whether her brother could use both Roth accounts.
  • She provided his income, IRA and 401(k) contribution numbers and asked who was right.
ADVICE

You Can Have Both Roth Accounts

  • Do contribute to both a Roth 401(k) and a Roth IRA if your situation allows.
  • Maxing both is permitted and gives you more after-tax retirement space.
INSIGHT

Roth Is A Tax Treatment, Not A Single Account

  • A Roth is a tax treatment meaning you use after-tax dollars and withdrawals are tax-free in retirement.
  • The only limitation is IRA income limits, but a backdoor Roth can work if you exceed them.
