If I roll over my rollover Ira to 401k, do I need to creat new ira for Backdoor?

[boglechu]

I have about 30k rollover Ira with vanguard that was created in 2016. It’s 2017 and I just submitted request to roll over the vg rollover Ira to my 401k so I may do Backdoor Roth IRA.

Should I create a new traditional Ira with vanguard for the $5500 or use previously created rollover Ira which will have $0?

You can use the same IRA. Just be sure to file the form 8606 for each year you make a nondeductible contribution.
