Move rollover options
It's a smart move to roll assets from your retirement plan into a traditional IRA when changing jobs or retiring. By choosing a direct rollover - instead of the cash payment option - you delay taxes, avoid mandatory 20% federal withholding and other tax penalties. Until 2002, you could only roll taxable distributions from your 401(k) and 403(b) plans over to an IRA. Today, funds from governmental 457(b) plans are also eligible for rollover.
When can I withdraw from a Traditional IRA?
You can withdraw funds from your IRA anytime after you reach age 59 1/2. Distributions taken prior to age 59 1/2 are subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty unless the distribution is:
- Made to a beneficiary due to the account holder's death.
- Made to an account holder who has become permanently and totally disabled.
- Made as part of a series of "substantially equal" periodic payments.
- Used to pay medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of the account holder's adjusted gross income.
- Used to pay health insurance premiums for participants unemployed 12 or more weeks.
- Up to $10,000 used for the first time purchase of a home.
- Used to pay for qualified higher education expenses.
Distributions must start by April 1 following the year in which the participant reaches age 70 1/2. Failure to begin distributions at this point will impose penalties. The Worker, Retiree and Employer Recovery Act of 2008, waives the required minimum distribution for IRA owners 70 1/2 or older in 2009.
