Conduit IRA

    0.01 sec.
Rollover IRA
An IRA to which one has transferred funds from an employer-sponsored qualified retirement account. This usually occurs when an account holder takes a new job or otherwise wishes to take advantage of the tax benefits an IRA offers over, say, a 401(k). Most IRA programs only allow one rollover per year; with a Roth IRA, there is an income limit beyond which a rollover is not allowed. An IRA rollover may be accomplished through a direct transfer or by check; however, a check transfer brings a 20% withholding charge, so account holders are advised to make direct transfers. It is less commonly called a conduit IRA.

Conduit IRA. A conduit IRA is another name for a rollover IRA, which you establish with money you roll over from a 401(k), 403(b), or other retirement savings plan.

Assets in a conduit IRA continue to be tax deferred until they are withdrawn and may be transferred into a new employer's plan if the plan allows transfers.

o Conduit IRA - It is used to transport appropriate funds from one account to another.
Portability The EGTRRA significantly eased the rules on rollovers of retirement savings from one type of tax-favored retirement fund to another, by removing barriers that either prohibited specific types of rollovers or required the use of a conduit IRA to accomplish them.
If the amounts in the conduit IRA are attributable solely to rollovers from qualified plans, a distribution from that conduit IRA may be rolled over into another qualified plan.
