Ryan is joined by Zach Smith of Pilot Tax to discuss why many high-income pilots run into Roth limitations and what that means for long-term planning.

Here’s what we cover in this episode:
🛫 Backdoor Roth Basics: The workaround when income caps apply
🚧 Roth Eligibility Limits: Why pilots often exceed IRS thresholds
🧮 Joint Income Rules: How household earnings affect access
🔄 Conversion Process: Moving money without turbulence
⚠️ Pro Rata Rule: The hidden tax trap many pilots miss
