Rolling a Roth IRA Into a 403(b) Plan
|
|
“One of our older participants has some IRAs that she wishes to roll over into our 403(b) so that she can avoid taking required minimum distributions on them until she retires from here (she is 68, and plans on working here as long as she can). Our plan does accept rollovers so I believe that action is fine from our perspective, but I noticed that one of her IRAs is actually a Roth IRA. Would different rules apply to that?”
