401k rollover

Account migration option

A 401k rollover is the transfer of retirement funds from one 401k account to another qualified retirement account, typically when changing jobs or retiring.

The rollover preserves the tax-deferred status of the money: She did a 401k rollover into an IRA after leaving the company.

A direct rollover transfers funds between institutions without the account holder taking possession, avoiding tax penalties.
