I honestly don’t know what I’m doing with it and didn’t realize how complex it was. Well this past year I pulled money from a 403B after I quit with that company and then had to put it in a rollover to get it over to my Roth. I honestly don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t have …

contributed to Roth IRA but am over MAGI

( www.reddit.com )

contributed to Roth IRA but am over MAGI I thoughtlessly and embarrassingly contributed to my ROTH IRA in Sept last year not accounting for the fact that this is the first time I was earning above the threshold. I was unable to contribute to my ROTH in the previous handful of years so was feeling good about having the income to contribute facepalm. To complicate matters, I have about 3…

Contributed to Roth IRA but over MAGI max Hi – This was my first year being over the MAGI max. I contributed the $7k during 2024 and realized during my taxes that I was above the income limit.
