Can You Write Off Backdoor Roth IRA?
Short answer: No deduction: a backdoor Roth is a nondeductible IRA contribution converted to Roth.
The pro-rata rule taxes part of the conversion if you have other pre-tax IRA money.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
