What you need to know

  • A 401k is a tax-qualified retirement plan which allows employees to contribute a before-tax portion of their salaries. You are able to transfer 401k funds after age 59 1/2 or termination of employment. Call your plan administrator to determine if a transfer of funds is permitted. The trustee to trustee transfer is not a taxable event. Unlike an IRA transfer, the 401k trustee will accept instructions only from the account owner, YOU. Once the transfer is initiated, please allow two to three weeks for the funds arrive to your new Self Directed IRA.
