What is an IRA Rollover?
If you have an employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k) or another tax-deferred account, you may be eligible to rollover the money into a Traditional IRA without incurring a tax liability. If you are eligible, you could elect a rollover conversion of you plan distribution into a Roth IRA. However, a rollover conversion to a Roth IRA is generally a taxable event. Be sure you understand rollover regulations in order to make sure you avoid tax consequences. We recommend consulting your tax advisor before you complete a rollover.
A rollover requires a distribution from an IRA or qualified plan, which is then rolled over into an IRA account within a 60 day period to complete the rollover transaction. While the rules for rollovers and transfers differ, they accomplish similar objectives. Both rollovers and transfers facilitate the tax-free movement of IRA monies from one trustee or custodian to another. One kind of IRA rollover involves moving monies from an existing IRA account to another IRA account, and another requires a distribution from a qualified pension, profit-sharing, or 403(b) Tax-Sheltered Annuity plan. In either case, you have 60 days in which to complete the rollover. One IRA rollover per 12 calendar months is permitted.
