Can you do the conversion multiple times a year or just once a year?
Hey Krnboix86,
As many times as you want up to the contribution limit for that particular year.
Example:
-
Contribute $500 liquid cash into your Traditional IRA monthly
-
Convert $500 liquid cash from Traditional IRA into Roth IRA monthly
-
Invest $500 liquid cash in Roth IRA into preferred security holdings
Happy Investing!

A clarification to Rick’s response:
- You can convert from IRA to Roth IRA at any time for how ever much you want. However, as you know, you can only contribute $6k to any type of IRA/year (currently). If you have an IRA balance that was rollover from an ex-employer, and that balance is more than $6k, you can still convert that whole balance throughout the year or at one time if you want.
There is a limit to how much you can contribute to an IRA, but there is no conversion limit. You just need to be careful of the tax implications if you do convert.
