Can you lower your AGI by increasing your pre-tax 401k contributions? I’m above but with the pre-tax it brings me low enough to max the Roth IRA.

Your current funds will stay in the Roth IRA, you just can’t contribute anymore if you’re over the income limit.

Contact you brokerage. They will help you. This happens all the time.

you should pull your contributions out and just do a backdoor Roth. and if you’re right under the limit now, you’re still only allowed to contribute a percentage and shouldn’t be doing the full $6500.

Nothing …you can also still.
Backdoor it and make contributions each year.

If you’re over the limit to contribute to a Roth IRA directly you’ll generally want to re-characterize to traditional and do a backdoor Roth IRA.

Just be aware of pro rata rules.

Don’t forget to take a look at: Any suggestion on how to diversify within my Roth IRA?

In Vanguard, you can re-classify contributions from 2023 to 2024 (starting 1/1/24), not sure if that helps but gives you more options.

Who knows, you might still be under the income threshold with standard deductions and any other eligible deductions you make this calendar year.

I’ve got a stream of income,that is an online business which is currently making me more than $4k weekly, it’s called an advance Coin Farming, if anyone is interested in making good income online I can send you some more info on how it worked for me.
