Rollover to a Roth IRA

[Guest jetfaninmn]

I know what can come into a 401(k) plan, but can a 401(k) distribution be rolled over into a Roth IRA?

Not until 2008. PPA will allow for plan years after 2007.

Until then, you must rollover to a traditional IRA and then convert to a ROTH IRA.

You also need a distribution event from the 401(k)>

I just had a client ask me the same question. They have a former EE who wanted to roll her $218.29 401(k) pre-tax account balance into a Roth IRA. I will let him know that this former EE will need to take her money som other way. Thanks!
