Queen Prawn Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I rolled over my 401K into an IRA. Does anyone know what kind of tax implications will this have, if any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I am pretty sure that it all stays tax free. But I am sure one of the resident CPA (ie-nerds) can help you more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Mike's right. No penalties for rolling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Wooh, good. Brian's last company f***ed him on his. He filled out all the paperwork and his current company sent it in, but they still cut him the check (something like 1/3 of it went to taxes and penalties).

If he filled out the paperwork and has copies (which he should have) he can recover that $$. IIRC he has 3 years to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a second job and they were taking money out when I didn't even want them to. I got a check when I quit and had to pay penalties because of early withdrawl. It was only $30 so I'm not going to make a big fuss over it though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's against the law and you should report them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's against the law and you should report them. Also check to see if they were deducting -or- this was a benefit and just company monies. Rare, but possible. A person that worked for me had that situation with her previous company. IIRC there are IRS guidelines about top heavy plans, common in places like Doctors offices where the Doc tosses in $$$$ and the employees do not participate. So the Doc needed more participation and contributed regardless of the employee's particpation. (More if they particpated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know any details about the laws, but I know that is wrong, and I think on a federal level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 If it was called profit sharing it was probably not taken from your check. For $30, I don't think it's worth getting an attorney. Be careful filing your taxes, unmatched 1099 do cause the IRS to get excited, regardless of the amount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like Tex said.. an unmatched 1099 will get you a call from Uncle Sam.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
