Are There Different Types of IRAs or Other Tax Deferred Accounts? Clause Samples

This clause defines and distinguishes the various types of Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and other tax-deferred savings accounts available to individuals. It typically outlines the main categories, such as Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP IRAs, and SIMPLE IRAs, and may also reference employer-sponsored plans like 401(k)s or 403(b)s that offer tax deferral benefits. By clarifying the differences and eligibility requirements for each account type, the clause helps individuals understand their options for tax-advantaged retirement savings and ensures they can make informed decisions based on their financial goals and circumstances.
Are There Different Types of IRAs or Other Tax Deferred Accounts?. Yes. Upon creation of a tax deferred account, you must designate whether the account will be a Traditional IRA, a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, or a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Education Savings Account (“CESA”). (In addition, there are Simplified Employee Pension Plan (“SEP”) IRAs and Savings Incentive Matched Plan for Employees of Small Employers (“SIMPLE”) IRAs, which are discussed in the Disclosure Statement for Traditional IRAs). • In a Traditional IRA, amounts contributed to the IRA may be tax deductible at the time of contribution. Distributions from the IRA will be taxed upon distribution except to the extent that the distribution represents a return of your own contributions for which you did not claim (or were not eligible to claim) a deduction. • In a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, amounts contributed to your IRA are taxed at the time of contribution, but distributions from the IRA are not subject to tax if you have held the IRA for certain minimum periods of time (generally, until age 59½ but in some cases longer). • In a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Education Savings Account, you contribute to an IRA maintained on behalf of a beneficiary and do not receive a current deduction. However, if amounts are used for certain educational purposes, neither you nor the beneficiary of the IRA are taxed upon distribution. Each type of account is a custodial account created for the exclusive benefit of the beneficiary – you (or your spouse) in the case of the Traditional IRA and ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, and a named beneficiary in the case of a ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Education Savings Account. U.S. Bank, National Association serves as Custodian of the account. Your, your spouse’s or your beneficiary’s (as applicable) interest in the account is nonforfeitable.

  • Can I Roll Over or Transfer Amounts from Other IRAs or Employer Plans If properly executed, you are allowed to roll over a distribution from one Traditional IRA to another without tax penalty. Rollovers between Traditional IRAs may be made once every 12 months and must be accomplished within 60 days after the distribution. Beginning in 2015, just one 60 day rollover is allowed in any 12 month period, inclusive of all Traditional, ▇▇▇▇, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs owned. Under certain conditions, you may roll over (tax-free) all or a portion of a distribution received from a qualified plan or tax-sheltered annuity in which you participate or in which your deceased spouse participated. In addition, you may also make a rollover contribution to your Traditional IRA from a qualified deferred compensation arrangement. Amounts from a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ may not be rolled over into a Traditional IRA. If you have a 401(k), ▇▇▇▇ 401(k) or ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) and you wish to rollover the assets into an IRA you must roll any designated ▇▇▇▇ assets, or after tax assets, to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ and roll the remaining plan assets to a Traditional IRA. In the event of your death, the designated beneficiary of your 401(k) Plan may have the opportunity to rollover proceeds from that Plan into a Beneficiary IRA account. In general, strict limitations apply to rollovers, and you should seek competent advice in order to comply with all of the rules governing rollovers. Most distributions from qualified retirement plans will be subject to a 20% withholding requirement. The 20% withholding can be avoided by electing a “direct rollover” of the distribution to a Traditional IRA or to certain other types of retirement plans. You should receive more information regarding these withholding rules and whether your distribution can be transferred to a Traditional IRA from the plan administrator prior to receiving your distribution.

  • Can I Roll Over or Transfer Amounts from Other IRAs You are allowed to “roll over” a distribution or transfer your assets from one ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ to another without any tax liability.

Mandatory required minimum distributions from Traditional IRAs, must be removed from the Traditional IRA prior to conversion. Rollover amounts (except to the extent they represent non-deductible contributions) are includable in your income and subject to tax in the year of the conversion, but such amounts are not subject to the 10% penalty tax. However, if an amount rolled over from a Traditional IRA is distributed from the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ before the end of the five-tax-year period that begins with the first day of the tax year in which the rollover is made, a 10% penalty tax will apply. Effective in the tax year 2008, assets may be directly rolled over (converted) from a 401(k) Plan, 403(b) Plan or a governmental 457 Plan to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. Subject to the foregoing limits, you may also directly convert a Traditional IRA to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ with similar tax results. Furthermore, if you have made contributions to a Traditional IRA during the year in excess of the deductible limit, you may convert those non- deductible IRA contributions to contributions to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ (assuming that you otherwise qualify to make a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ contribution for the year and subject to the contribution limit for a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇). You must report a rollover or conversion from a Traditional IRA to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ by filing Form 8606 as an attachment to your federal income tax return. Beginning in 2006, you may roll over amounts from a “designated ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ account” established under a qualified retirement plan. ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ 401(k) or ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) assets may only be rolled over either to another designated ▇▇▇▇ Qualified account or to a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇. Upon distribution of employer sponsored plans the participant may roll designated ▇▇▇▇ assets into a ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ but not into a Traditional IRA. In addition, ▇▇▇▇ assets cannot be rolled into a Profit-Sharing-only plan or pretax deferral-only 401(k) plan. In the event of your death, the designated beneficiary of your ▇▇▇▇ 401(k) or ▇▇▇▇ 403(b) Plan may have the opportunity to rollover proceeds from that Plan into a Beneficiary ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ account. Strict limitations apply to rollovers, and you should seek competent advice in order to comply with all of the rules governing any type of rollover.
