Move vested RSUs to Mega Backdoor without selling

TSIA. I'm using Fidelity FWIW. Or you can't as you haven't paid capital gains on them yet? #personalfinance #investments

What do you even mean? Typical MBR is by converting AT 401k money into Roth. AFAIK unless you contribute to AT 401k, you canā€™t do MBR.

I paid taxes on my RSUs when they got assigned. So in this case, I sell them > move to 401K and then to Roth? And pay capital gains next year?

You can only add money into Mega Backdoor through payroll contributions of after-tax money. There is no way to just shove money from your brokerage account into it

My understanding is the same as Uber

You need to contribute to MBR directly from your paycheck. You can't sell RSU and push proceeds into your MBR on Fidelity, at least as far as I know. The best thing to do would be to call them and ask.

No point in calling. Youā€™re correct
