I'm pretty sure Roth uses AGI. For someone who is single like the OP the max is $114,000 before phasing out and ending at $129,000.

Correct, sorry I was listing for joint filing.

Are you sure about AGI?

This is what I found. LINK

I believe they add back some of your deductions in calculating your income for roth limitations.

Yeah that's correct. Filing single had me maxed out at 127k.

So reading a little more... it seems to me that I can max out 401k ($15,500 or whatever it is), contribute $5,500 to traditional IRA (not deductible) and the convert the traditional to Roth. Does this sound right?
