You can roll over your IRA, 401(k), 403(b), or lump sum pension payment into an annuity tax-free.
With a traditional IRA, you set aside $6,000 for the year and pay no taxes on this amount. Therefore, you’ve saved a net of $6,000. Of course at some later date when you are ready to retire, the assumption is that you will pay taxes on this amount. For example: If you’re ...
Although the 401(k) pales in comparison to anicely funded pension, even more disappointing than the 401(k) is the IRA. With the IRA retirement plan, you can only contribute $7,000 in pre-tax dollars for 2024. Further, you can only contribute pre-tax dollars if you make under $87,000...

At one point I was putting in 25% into my 401k. I know that there are sites where families have retired after only working 10 or so years, by saving 60 – 70 percent of their income. That would be a nice goal, but that’s not my current thing. So occasionally I plan to write ...
If your 401(k) withdrawal is eligible to be rolled over to an IRA or other retirement plan but you choose to take it in cash, 20% of the taxable amount of the withdrawal will be withheld and sent to the IRS as a pre-payment of the income tax owed on the withdrawal. This means th...
