IRA Rollovers

An IRA rollover allows you to move assets from an employer-sponsored retirement plan or another IRA into a new or existing IRA—while maintaining tax-deferred status, if done correctly.

Types of Rollovers:

  • Direct Rollover: Funds are transferred custodian-to-custodian with no distribution to the account holder
  • Indirect Rollover: Funds are distributed to the account holder and must be re-deposited into a new IRA within 60 days

Rollover IRA vs. IRA Rollover:

  • A Rollover IRA holds assets transferred from a qualified employer plan (401(k), 403(b), etc.)
  • An IRA rollover typically refers to the process of moving assets between IRAs
  • RMDs apply for traditional 401(k) accounts

Key Rules:

  • Only one indirect rollover is allowed per 12-month period
  • No contribution limits apply to rollover amounts
  • Employer-plan assets should remain segregated in a Rollover IRA for potential future transfers
