Thank you. I noticed the cited MAGI figure in your source was listed at 137k for 2019. I don’t exceed that value. Is there an official source for this value somewhere?

Contributions start to phase out at 129

Got it. Unfortunately I do exceed that and thus cannot just disregard this issue as I initially hoped when reading that paragraph, lol.

Thanks very much!

Backdoor Roth is easy.

Contributing to a 401k also lowers you magi if you do that

Thanks! So I could technically just contribute enough to my remaining 401k deductions to lower my MAGI enough to avoid the 129k limit. Hmm, I may just do that.

Much appreciated!
