Roth IRA Simplifier Form

Financial institutions are required to obtain tax ID numbers when opening an account, and the fact that it's an IRA doesn't exempt them from that requirement. They shouldn't have opened it without the W-9 in the first place, but apparently they did. So now they had to close it until they get the required documentation.

A “backdoor Roth IRA contribution” consists of two parts: 1) a nondeductible Traditional IRA contribution, and 2) a conversion from Traditional IRA to Roth IRA.You will need to report the nondeductible Traditional IRA contribution on Part I of Form 8606 for the year that the contribution was counted under (which is not necessarily the year of the contribution since you can choose to count a contribution before April 15 as for the previous year).You will need to report the conversion to Roth IRA on Part II of Form 8606 for the year the conversion happened in (this is the exact calendar year; you can’t choose to count it under a different year).

I am confused on the highlighted part.

There’s no inherent advantage to having 2 Roth IRA’s versus 1, but contrary to the advice in previous answers, there are at least 3 very good strategic reasons why it could be wise for you to do so:The biggest reason is if you’re investing your IRA in any alternative assets that could open you to the risk of committing a prohibited transaction. By isolating assets of that type into their own account, you’re also isolating the damage that could result in the event of a PTAs you age, a consideration will be what will happen to your IRA after you pass away. If you have multiple beneficiaries, it may be easier to leave separate accounts to each beneficiary rather than leaving one account that must be divided after you pass away.If you have an IRA at a conventional brokerage like Charles Schwab or eTrade or Vanguard, you’ll never be able to invest in anything but stocks, bonds or mutual funds. In other words, you’re wholly restricted from investing in very common and very desirable asset classes like precious metals or real estate. Should you choose to diversify a portion of your assets into non-Wall Street assets, you’d need to have a second IRA with a self-directed IRA custodian that can accommodate such a need.(Apologies for the large volume of links to my website in this post.

I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed. I am just trying to show you examples that you are most likely being connned.Below is an email response I received after I sent an inquiry to the US government when I discovered I was scammed.

A Roth IRA is $5,500 a year (unless you qualify for the old-age provision.)The contribution period runs from January 1st to April 15th of the following year, so you could work on your 2016 Roth for the next month or so.

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.

As with a Roth IRA, the profits earned inside a Roth 401(k) don’t become tax-free until you’ve turned 59 1/2 and it’s been 5 years since the year of your first Roth 401(k) contribution. Hence, if you cash out before both of those conditions are met, the profits from the account will be taxable, and you might also have to pay a 10% penalty tax on top of that.Rolling the Roth 401(k) over to a Roth IRA won’t trigger any taxes or the 10% penalty. Just be aware that the conditions for the profits to become tax-free will change: you’ll now have to wait until you’ve turned 59 1/2 and it’s been 5 years since the year of the rollover.
