Smile Cares act 401K withdraw

I’m thinking about pulling 100K for Fidelity’s 401K, and rolling it over to my Roth IRA. Unique Opportunity to free Up some money without the 10% penalty, and being able to spread the the tax burden over three years. Has anybody done anything along those lines?

You can take the 100k withdrawal but I don't think you can roll that into an IRA. Once you take the money out it's treated as income, and you're still limited to 6k/year for each IRA contribution.

I think at most you'd want to take out 24k (assuming you're married) and put 6k into each of your Roth IRAs in 2020 and again at the start of 2021.

Can you even contribute to Roth IRA given the Gross Income limits? $139k single/$206k joint?

Absolutely. But you have to do the “Backdoor” contribution. So transfer to a Traditional IRA, and then a Roth. $6k limit for 2020.

My income is too high to contribute. I need to speak to a true TAX PRO, the problem is “my team’s” answers are not convincing, lots of probably, the intent of the law is.. I care about the nuances of the law, not the spirit. Does anybody have a well versed TAX attorney/CPA in the Cares Act, and pro rata rule, in the ATL area. I live south, off course... Thanks in advance.

Yes, anyone over the limits can do a backdoor Roth IRA, which is not the same thing as a mega-backdoor Roth IRA...

Default PSA - New Year, New Limits

2021 - 415C limit raised to 58,000, The catch up contribution of 6,500 is a separate part of the tax code and not subject to the 415C limit.

I'll share my math for the Delta plan:
-Reaching the 58,000 max with 16% company contributions takes $362,500 in earnings.
-If you contribute 19,500 to the 401k portion (Roth or Traditional), you will reach the remaining 38,500 of company contributions with 240,625 of earnings.

MBDR crowd, it's time to review your 401a after tax contribution amounts.

First year I am eligible for the catch-up contribution. Looking over my contribution elections, it appears it is not possible to make the catch-up contribution to the 401(a) after tax bucket. Looks like only choices are 401(k) pre-tax or Roth 401(k). Anyone else seen this? Suggestions?
