Can I make a backdoor Roth IRA contribution to my Unchained IRA?
How to make a backdoor contribution to your Unchained IRA
Yes you can, however we recommend completing the backdoor contribution and conversion process each year using your IRA accounts at your existing IRA custodian, rather than processing the conversion directly through Unchained. This is because it is quicker and cheaper for you to do so (we charge a fee to process backdoor conversions, and legacy IRA providers are usually able to process conversions for free).
If you have questions about backdoor contributions, please consult with your tax advisor, as Unchained cannot give tax advice.
