Backdoor Roth - close Traditional IRA or leave with $0?
« on: March 18, 2019, 08:56:24 PM »
Hello,

Do you have to close your Traditional IRA after you transfer it to a Roth IRA with a Backdoor Roth?  Or can I just leave it open with $0 left in it, so I can repeat it next year?

Thanks!

Leave and repeat.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
