You are eligible to make a $5,500 non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA. You can then do a conversion to a Roth. If you do the conversion before there are earnings in the account, none of the converted amount will be included in taxable income because you will have a basis in the Traditional of $5,500.

You are eligible to make a $5,500 non-deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA. You can then do a conversion to a Roth. The converted amount will be included in taxable income because you took a deduction for the Traditional IRA contribution.
