is it an option?
I know you can roll a roth 401(k) or 401(k) after paying taxes into a roth ira, but is the reverse true as well? |

No, it's currently not provided for by the Code. Guess they didn't think "portability" thru on that one.

Really wouldn't make any sense either , Lori , cause the Roth 401(k) is subject to required minium distributions ( RMD ) while the Roth IRA is not .
 And your same basic question on another board : http://www.bogleheads.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21603 This post has been edited by allancoleman: Aug 8 2008, 11:19 AM |
