Things To Consider

IRA rollover basics

Rollovers move retirement savings from one retirement account to another.
 
There’s no limit on how much money you can roll over.2
 
The easiest way to roll over is to transfer directly from one institution to another.
If you take money directly out of your retirement plan or IRA (for example, you receive a check made out to you) you can still roll it into a new IRA, but things get more complicated.
 
For example, you’ll need to roll over within 60 days or you may be faced with tax withholding and/or penalties.
