Direct Rollover

    0.01 sec.
Direct rollover
Movement of tax-deferred retirement plan money from one qualified plan or custodian to another. No immediate tax liabilities or penalties are incurred, but there is an IRS reporting requirement.

Direct Rollover
The transfer of funds from an IRA to another qualified retirement account owned by the same person or vice versa. Rollovers happen most often when an employee changes jobs and therefore IRA accounts. A direct rollover goes directly from one account to the other; it is not distributed to the account holder at any point. A direct rollover may only be done once per year for each account. One must report a direct rollover to the IRS, but it is not taxable.

Direct Rollovers from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA Employees who move from one workplace to another were previously permitted to transfer their 401(k)s to traditional IRAs, both of which require taxes to be paid once money is withdrawn.
Background: Eligible Rollover Distributions Generally, distributions from an employer plan can be rolled over tax-free into another employer plan or IRA by contributing the amount of the distribution to the other plan or IRA within 60 days of the distribution, or by a direct rollover by the plan to the other plan or IRA.
Once assets have been distributed, each participant is eligible to roll over the values (companies must provide a direct rollover option for employees) to an Individual Retirement Account or to another workplace plan, if one exists.
