conversation: User (Trintrontan): "I have a traditional IRA with about 14K and wanted to convert it to a Roth IRA. When I started the IRA, I did take a tax deduction but since then my income bracket puts me outside of receiving any tax benefit. Furthermore, I'd like to contribute to a Roth IRA through the 'back door' conversion. Does anyone have experience with this? "
  Self: "If you have a 401k at work that allows it, roll the Trad IRA pre-tax money into your 401k.  Once the Trad IRA is clear, you can do Backdoor Roth conversions.  "
