FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I move money from one IRA to another IRA that I own?
Yes. A transfer or rollover between your IRAs is always tax-free and can be done regardless of your income, as long as they are the same type of IRA. If you own both a Roth and a Traditional IRA, they can also be rolled together in a conversion, but there may be tax consequences. We recommend talking with a competent tax advisor before taking action.
-
Can I own and contribute to both a Traditional and a Roth IRA?
Yes. You can contribute to both types of IRAs for the same year. However, the total of the contributions that you make to both types of IRAs for the same year cannot exceed your annual contribution limit. Consult your tax advisor to decide on a plan that is right for you.
-
Can I contribute to a Traditional or a Roth IRA and still contribute to an employer-sponsored retirement plan?
Yes. Your participation in an employer-sponsored retirement plan will not affect your ability to contribute to a Traditional or a Roth IRA, assuming age and compensation requirements are met.
In the case of a Traditional IRA (and depending on your income level) if you do receive contributions from an employer on a different plan, you may lose the ability to deduct your Traditional IRA contributions.
