401k Rollover To An IRA Is An Easy Process

By David Skool

When you leave your current employment you will need to take care of your 401(k) plan within sixty days or face a numerous amounts of charges. If you did not leave employment to go to another job you will need to rollover your account into another retirement savings account that is privately held.

Nobody really wants to pay fines and penalties. If you want to avoid all these altogether, but still desire to rollover your 401k into an IRA, then better go to a brokerage firm. The moment you decide you quit from your job, finding a brokerage company should be your primary concern. You can shop for firms like these in the internet, or go through banks and other financial institutions in your place.

Inquire of their services, the type of IRA they offer, along with their maintenance fees and return rates. Choose among the firms that can give you the best deal for your money. After that, you can immediately jump into processing your 401k rollover.

A 401(k) rollover to an IRA is pretty simple if you let the brokers handle the transaction. You should never withdraw the money and then reinvest it at a different financial firm. The IRS will see this as "early withdrawal" of retirement savings and you will be hit with penalties as well as steep taxes on this money. This can all be avoided by letting the new financial institution roll over your 401(k) to an IRA through their company.

When you have decided which company you choose to manage your money, simply request the paperwork to have your old 401(k) money rolled over into your new IRA plan with them. They will process all the paperwork, for free, once you have signed the authorization allowing them to do so.

This is the general practice in the financial market. You can be assured that they will be prompt in doing this service. It is good for you because you can avoid taxes and fees, even penalties imposed by your previous employer for leaving your money to them after you discontinued your employment. - 23217
