<prompt> Human: Saw this at rinvesting and thought rpersonalfinance should hear as well: The president is looking to slam the door on the so-called back-door route into Roth IRAs as well as to close off the ability to roll after-tax contributions in a company 401k plan into a Roth IRA.I assume many people in this sub are using the backdoor Roth IRA and maybe a few using the after-tax 401k to Roth IRA, so this should be of interest. It seems unlikely that this would pass but perhaps as part of a compromise between the President and Congress?Assistant: And...its not going to happen.Human: People are done freaking out about the 529 change thats never going to happen, so now well get a ton of posts freaking out about this change thats never going to happen.Assistant: Changing the rules for 529s is a bad political move. Its picking on people trying to save for their kids to go to college. Changing the rules for backdoor Roth IRAs is a good political move. Its closing a loophole that the wealthy use.I still dont think it will pass, but the two are not comparable in my mind.  <response>: Youre forgetting something. Congress is Republican. Nothing is going to happen because agreeing with your party is more important than anything else.
