ROLLOVER RULES AND REPAYMENT OF CRDs: TODAY’S SLOTT REPORT MAILBAG

Hello Ed, I have faithfully read the Slott Report for a long time. I must thank you for sharing your knowledge. However, it is finally my turn to write you with a question. I was quite fortunate to work for a company with an employer 401(k) plan. So, I faithfully contributed for years and now have both 401(k) and Roth 401(k) — principal and earnings — to retire on. My employer’s plan rules state that after I retire, I must take it all or nothing.

The Once-Per-Year Rollover Rule – What Doesn’t Count

In 2014, the Tax Court ruled that an IRA owner could do only one, IRA-to-IRA or Roth IRA-to-Roth IRA, 60-day rollover in a 12 month period. This rule applies no matter how many IRA and/or Roth IRA accounts the IRA owner might have. The 12 months is a full 12 months, not a calendar year. The 12 month period will start with the date that IRA or Roth IRA funds are received.
