@realbraidenshaw: If your income is too high to contribute directly to a Roth IRA, a backdoor Roth may be a great alternative. The basic idea is simple: • Make a non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA • Convert those funds to a Roth IRA • If IRS requirements are met, future qualified withdrawals can be tax-free A few important things to know: • If you already have pre-tax money in a Traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA, the pro-rata rule may affect how much tax you owe on the conversion • Many brokerage firms can help with the conversion process, and Form 8606 is used to report nondeductible IRA contributions • Every situation is different, so it's worth talking with a CPA or tax professional before making a move
Limited to the $7,500 traditional ira cap per year, right??

My wife and I filed married separately due to her wild student loans, but not allowed to have a Roth IRA as a result. We do a Backdoor Roth IRA conversion in cash twice a year

when you pay the taxes, can you use your IRA as the source of that cash without paying any penalties?
