Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It seems like you can repay even after you paid taxes on the first third.  But the way I read the rules, that part a bit vague.

 

So lets say you took the whole $100,000.  If you paid tax on $33,333 last year, you could repay 1/3 as a rollover/repayment to ANY rollover IRA or 401(k) (not the one it came out of necessarily) this year and not pay any tax this year.  It is coded as a rollover on the Form 5498.

 

Then next year you could repay or pay the taxes.  Very flexible.  But make sure first  by doing research, don't take my word for it.
