Thought I would share in case this benefits anyone.
I was worried about if we would be phased out of Roth IRA contributions this year because I had an unusually high bonus. I was also unsure how our side hustles would contribute to our total income.
We were planning to start the backdoor method if needed but we just got our taxes done and our accountant confirmed that we are definitely eligible for 2016 because of what our MAGI is. I feel so dim that I wasn't thinking of MAGI and was instead thinking of gross income. We take deductions and H started a new job halfway through last year that offered a 401K. We maxed that out resulting in a really low take home paycheck for H and also helping the MAGI.
edited to say MAGI not AGI
