AKconsult Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Plan document states that it allows rollovers from 408(a) and 408(b). No reference to 408(k) - which is the code section for SEPs. Can the plan accept a rollover from a SEP-IRA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bird Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've always thought of a SEP as a vehicle to get money into an IRA. 408(k) starts out... 408(k) Simplified Employee Pension Defined. - 408(k)(1) In general. -For purposes of this title, the term “simplified employee means an individual retirement account* or individual retirement annuity* - *these are defined in 408(a) and 408(b). So, I think the account that is being rolled over is in fact a 408(a) or 408(b) account. Ed Snyder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Appleby Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've always thought of a SEP as a vehicle to get money into an IRA. 408(k) starts out...408(k) Simplified Employee Pension Defined. - 408(k)(1) In general. -For purposes of this title, the term “simplified employee means an individual retirement account* or individual retirement annuity* - *these are defined in 408(a) and 408(b).

Remember too, that if after-tax amounts (from nondeductible IRA contributions and rollovers of after-tax amounts from QPs/403(b)) are in the SEP, those amounts cannot be rolled over to the QP. And, if it is an RMD year for the participant, the RMD should be taken before the rollover is initiated. Life and Death Planning for Retirement Benefits by Natalie B.
