401(k) Rollover
156 posts
A 401(k) rollover is the process of transferring funds from a 401(k) retirement plan to another tax-advantaged account, such as an IRA or a new employer’s 401(k), typically after a job change or retirement. This move helps preserve tax-deferred growth and avoid early withdrawal penalties. Rollovers can be direct (funds go straight to the new account) or indirect (the participant temporarily receives the funds, with a 60-day deadline to redeposit). Proper rollovers prevent taxes and penalties, and give participants more control over investment choices and account management.
