For this year , you don't have sufficient time to do it

there is enough time. for 2020, you can contribute and do backdoor until 15-apr, 2021. best strategy is to contribute and transfer to roth ira asap to avoid paying taxes on any earnings in TIRA.

Simple process.... First go and open traditional ira , you might not eligible to claim tax benefits on this amount based on your income...

Next open roth ira account , better do with same company..... After your funds settled in traditional ira , do transfer your funds to roth ira....

 

You can do everything online .... Also don't do any trading activity within traditional IRA unless you want to pay taxes....

Yes you need to pay tax on your activity in traditional ira before transferring to roth...

This is what I have been doing for last few years:

- Opened Traditional IRA and Roth IRA accounts at Vanguard. 

- Transfer $6k to Trad IRA account, wait for couple of days until funds are settled. Make sure this $6k is after taxes money. This can not be deducted while filing taxes as well. 

- Once funds settle in Trad IRA, move them to Roth IRA account. 

- Invest in mutual funds. (You can invest in whatever you want. I invest my retirement accounts mostly in mutual funds). 

You can fund an IRA till April of next year. That means for 2020, you can fund till April 2021.

You can only move 6k to Roth ira.. usually 1 or 2 cents will be there unless you waited for long time before doing backdoor roth
