Retirement tax questions

Thank you. I have a question on your answer. When you stated, "A rollover from a 529 plan to your Roth IRA does not count as a contribution and does not affect your annual contribution limits" are you saying that I can still contribute another $7000 to into a Traditional IRA?

 

I copied the information below from the IRS publication 590 and I thought it meant that if I received a rollover from a 529 Plan to a Roth IRA, this contribution does affect my annual contribution and I cannot contribute another $7000. If what you state is correct would be great! I understand how new this allowed rollover is.

Thank you

 

Qualified tuition program rollover to a Roth IRA.

 Beginning with distributions made after December 31, 2023, a beneficiary of a section 529 qualified tuition program is permitted to roll over a distribution from the section 529 account to a Roth IRA for the beneficiary if certain requirements are met.

  • The rollover must be paid through a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to a Roth IRA maintained for the benefit of the beneficiary.

  • The rollover amount for a year cannot be more than the Roth IRA annual contributions limit, and all such rollovers for the individual’s lifetime cannot exceed $35,000.

  • The rollover must be from a section 529 account that has been open for more than 15 years.

  • The distribution cannot exceed the aggregate amount contributed to the program (and earnings attributed to the contributed amount) before the 5-year period ending on the date of the distribution.
