With 401(k) contribution limits increased in 2019, Microsoft employees have the ability to save even more into Roth by utilizing the 401(k) After-Tax Roth Conversion benefit, also known as the Mega Backdoor Roth Conversion.
Microsoft 401k Mega Backdoor Roth Conversion
The Microsoft employee benefits offering has some great options for employees. Microsoft is one of a handful of companies in the U.S. to make this benefit available to their employees. This has the potential to make a significant difference; at Avier we have already helped our current Microsoft clients save up to an extra $27,500/year in after-tax dollars that can automatically be converted into a Roth 401(k).
As of March 2019, Microsoft allows for daily conversions from after-tax to Roth within the 401(k). This is a great change that could help you potentially save additional dollars in taxes.
