CONFLICTING TRUSTEE ROLLOVER INFORMATION FOR INHERITED IRA

My mother passed on 2/29/12. At the end of 2017 I found out that i needed to eventually do something with the money and I heard about the 5 year rule. In attempt to get it rolled over I rushed to have it processed but was told that the money would not be forced out of the account at the end of the 5 years and I could roll it over the following year 2018 and take my RMDs as well as workout any penalties with the IRS. As I decided to move forward with this rollover in December 2018 I was denied the trustee to trustee rollover because they said I missed the 5 year rule after i was told previously that i would be able to roll it over. What are my options?



Please refer to the other thread titled “5 year rule” where you posted earlier. There are replies to your post there. You might check your IRA agreement to determine if you are deemed to have elected the 5 year rule as these agreements vary. Also confirm there that your mother did pass prior to her RBD.
