Default Mega Backdoor Roth for 2022???

From what I’m hearing the mega backdoor Roth conversion may not be available in 2022 due to the bill going through congress currently.

So….what are people doing for 2022? Just contributing to Roth 401ks? What’s the best strategy for the current situation to maximize Roth savings? I want to make sure my elections in Fidelity are appropriate before the first paycheck deduction in January.

Thanks for any input from those much smarter than myself.

Nothing is finalized yet. Yes those options are removed in the bill that passed the House, but there is no guarantee it’ll be in the Senate version, or if the Senate will even pass anything. I doubt we will have much clarity before the end of the year. I’m just going on what is currently allowed by law and if/when the law changes is when I’ll make any adjustments.

The question I have is: I dont think the Senate will pass anything and have it on the President's desk by years end, especially when it will most likely get sent for compromise. So I wonder if this thing gets passed in 2022, and the backdoor and mega are closed, will it be effective in 2023 or would it be effective from that date on, in 2022. Makes me wonder if I should do my backdoor contribution ASAP.

Wouldn't you have until the tax filing deadline have it apply to 2021 either way?

Not if you're trying to backdoor for the 2022 tax year...

There isnt anything else. The bill has to pass for it to do anything.

The Fidelity email outlined it pretty good. If you are doing conversions manually currently then call and do your last one on the 23rd. Obviously next year you won't be able to do anything but look for other ways to find tax advantaged investments. They told us taxes won't be going up on the middle class - did anyone really believe them? If this doesn't pass now it will come up again. They need more of your money. The inflation tax we are paying now isn't enough.

And again, none of this is set in stone. We have no idea what will be in the Senate bill (or if a bill will even pass), or what will be in the final product when they reconcile the differences.

Guys, the BBB is dead. Manchin isnt playing ball. Hes saying a year because by next may everyone will be gearing up for elections and this thing will simply be a thing they scream about for votes. The senate isnt playing ball, populism doesnt work in the senate.

Dont get geared up forthis stuff
