-
- According to IRA publication, trustee-to-trustee "moving" is called
- "Transfer", not Rollover. And yes, there is no limit of Transfers
- per year.
-
- Rollovers are withdraw of asset and then deposit back into another
- IRA. That has a 12 months period limit, i.e. within 12 months (starting
- the day you RECEIVED the distribution), you cannot make another withdraw
- from the same IRA account. But, you can make withdraw from another
- IRA source (thanks to the person who sent me the correction.) The IRS
- publication gives an example:
-
- You have two IRA accounts, IRA-1 and IRA-2. You made a withdraw
- from IRA-1 and deposit into IRA-3. That is a rollover. You are
- not allowed to make another withdraw from IRA-1 within the
- following 12 months. But you can make one withdraw from IRA-2 to
- deposit to IRA-3. The IRS publication does not say if one is
- allowed to withdraw from IRA-3 in less than 12 months after the
- first rollover.
-
- Standard disclaimer: I ain't no tax accountant. You should check the
- publication yourself.
