What accounts can be rolled into an IRA?

You can rollover funds from any of your own traditional IRAs, but you can also roll over funds to your traditional IRA from the following retirement plans:

  • A traditional IRA you inherit from your deceased spouse.
  • A qualified plan.
  • A tax-sheltered annuity plan.
  • A government deferred-compensation plan (section 457 plan)

    Keogh plans are retirement plans for self-employed people and unincorporated businesses, such as sole proprietorships and partnerships. Keogh plans can invest in the same set of securities as 401(k)s and IRAs, including stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit (CDs), and annuities.

    Can I transfer money from my IRA to my checking account?

    An IRA transfer (or IRA rollover) refers to when you transfer money from an individual retirement account (IRA) to a different account. The money can be transferred to another type of retirement account, a brokerage account, or a bank account. An IRA transfer can be made directly to another account.

    Can I contribute to an IRA with 1099 income?

    SEP IRA. The simplified employee pension plan allows 1099 workers to contribute up to 25 percent of their net earnings from self-employment or $53,000, whichever is lower, in 2016. Like a traditional IRA, you are allowed to contribute to a SEP IRA up to April 15 and still claim the contributions on the prior tax year.

    How can I avoid paying taxes on a traditional IRA?

    Donate your IRA distribution to charity. Retirees who are age 70 1/2 or older can avoid paying income tax on IRA withdrawals of up to $100,000 ($200,000 for couples) per year that they donate to charity. A qualified charitable distribution must be paid directly from your IRA to a qualifying charity.

    How do I avoid paying RMD on my taxes?
