I wrote this blogpost, Tax Planning Techniques & the Rise of the Backdoor Roth IRA a couple years back due to the intense interest from many clients about the Backdoor Roth IRA tax planning technique. It’s a bit surprising this savvy technique has not been shut down. It’s of course entirely legal and perhaps could be called a tax loophole. That said, as long as this option is available, why not take advantage of it? Tax planning at its core is about deferring taxes to a later date and or minimizing your current tax liabilities.
