Retirement tax questions

Generally, there are no tax implications if you complete a direct rollover and the assets go directly from your employer-sponsored plan into a Rollover or Traditional IRA via a trustee-to-trustee transfer.

 

Revisit the 1099-R interview in TurboTax and double check that you did not roll it over to a Roth IRA. 

 

Note-

However, there is a IRA one-rollover-per-year rule which you should be aware of.  

You can transfer a rollover IRA to another traditional IRA but you can't do it immediately. Federal IRA rules say that once you roll over assets from account A to account B, you cannot transfer the money from account B for another 12 months.
