The mega-backdoor Roth strategy requires a 401(k) plan that allows after-tax contributions AND in-service distributions or in-plan Roth conversions. Without both features, the strategy is unavailable regardless of income. Many plans permit one but not the other.

Medicare Part B and D premiums above the standard amount apply when modified AGI exceeds thresholds — but the lookback is two years (so 2026 IRMAA uses 2024 income). Roth conversions or retirement-account distributions that bump MAGI in the lookback year can produce surcharges that hit two years later, often unexpectedly.

A grantor trust is taxed to the grantor on income; the trust itself is invisible for income-tax purposes. A non-grantor trust pays its own tax at compressed brackets that hit top rate at relatively low income (~$15K). The choice between structures depends on the grantor's tax rate, the trust's expected income, and distribution patterns.
