Thank you!You can use your existing Roth. If they have not yet given you the money, have them roll it to your current Roth IRA.I assume I cannot just deposit the $700 in an existing Roth. If that is correct, a Roth conversion seems like a lot of heavy lifting for the amount involved. It would also involve another provider, which would add a layer of complexity (again, considering the amount).
If they have already cut the check made out to you, you can make a contribution of the $700 to your existing Roth IRA within 60 days and inform the custodian (often via a rollover form) that it is a rollover contribution.
Or just put it in your checking account if you prefer.
I have not requested anything yet. I will speak to them about rolling the after tax into my existing Roth.
In either scenario you mention, does it reset the 5 year rule on the existing Roth?
Thanks.
