New Law Affects IRA Rollovers

People used to believe that taxpayers could roll over as many IRAs as they wanted, providing that they waited one year before rolling over the same account again. A new law put in place by the United States Tax Court, however, puts the kibosh on that theory. Now, the law clarifies, taxpayers can only engage in one tax
free IRA rollover per year. So, even if a taxpayer has eight IRAs, he can only roll over one within a one year period.

While may professionals working in the tax and financial industries argue that the new IRA rollover law will only affect very wealthy individuals and not the “average citizen,” it’s still worthwhile to understand how this law will affect you, especially if you have or were planning on opening multiple IRAs.
