No, you can not borrow from your IRA.

However, if you are 59-½ or younger, you can take a premature distribution from your IRA once each 12-month period without penalty if you replace it within 60 days. This is not applicable for Roth IRAs.

If you do not replace it within the designated time, you will be charged a 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you do take a premature distribution, you should refer to the instructions from IRS Form 5329 for guidance in filing your taxes.

You have the option to remove excess funds contributed without penalty in the in a particular year if you remove them before the tax deadline for that year.

It is recommended that you check with your tax advisor to determine the best solution for your individual situation.

Can the outstanding loan balance from a retirement plan be rolled over into an IRA and the loan payments made to the IRA instead of the other plan?

IRAs (including SEP-IRAs) do not permit loans. Therefore, repaying a loan balance from one plan by transferring the loan balance and making loan payments to an IRA is not allowed. If this transaction was attempted, the loan would be treated as a distribution at the time of the attempted rollover.

No – Neither IRA losses nor IRA gains are taken into account on a participant’s tax return while the IRA is on-going.

Each IRA type allows owners to make contributions of up to the applicable dollar limit of earned income each tax year. Assets are not subject to income taxes while in IRA.

If the account owner is under 59-½, assets can be withdrawn from either IRA exempt from early withdrawal penalties (but not taxes) if used to pay qualifying college expenses or certain home purchases.

There are two primary differences between Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs.

Contributions to Roth IRAs are never tax-deductible but contributions to Traditional IRAs may be deductible or non—deductible.

Roth IRAs offer tax-sheltered growth. This means that investments grow free of federal income taxes. An investor pays no federal income tax at all on qualifying withdrawals.

Traditional IRAs offer tax-deferred growth. This means that investments can grow free of federal income taxes until withdrawals are taken.

Yes, individuals can contribute to a traditional IRA whether or not they are covered by another retirement plan. However, they may not be able to deduct all of their contributions if they or their spouses are covered by an employer-sponsored retirement plan. [Note that contributions to a Roth IRA are not deductible and income limits apply.

A traditional IRA can be converted to a Roth IRA by:

Rollover – A distribution from a traditional IRA can be contributed to a Roth IRA within 60 days after distribution.

Trustee-to-trustee transfer – The financial institution holding the traditional IRA assets will provide directions on how to transfer those assets to a Roth IRA with another financial institution.

Same trustee transfer – As with the trustee-to-trustee transfer, the financial institution holding the traditional IRA assets will provide directions on how to transfer those assets to a Roth IRA. In this case, things should be simpler because the transfer occurs within the same financial institution.

A conversion results in taxation of any untaxed amounts in the traditional IRA. Also, the conversion is reported on IRS Form 8606, Nondeductible IRAs.

If you have more than one retirement account, you can combine them into one account or move a partial amount into another account. You may want to keep deductible and non-deductible contributions in separate accounts.

Exception: A SIMPLE IRA can not be combined into ANY other type of account until after two years from the date of your initial contribution.

No, the additional 10% tax on early distributions from qualified retirement plans does not qualify as a penalty for withdrawal of savings.

By federal law, Traditional, SEP, SIMPLE and Rollover IRA account holders and participants in some qualified retirement plans must begin taking distributions no later than April 1st in the year in which they reach age 70-½. Roth IRAs are not subject to RMD. It is the minimum amount that you must withdraw each year.

Your RMD can be calculated based on your single life expectancy or the combined expectancy of you and your designated beneficiary.

Yes, you can withdraw more than the RMD. It is advised that you consult with a financial advisor to determine how much you should withdraw each year.

You are required to take your RMD annually. The total amount can be taken from either one IRA account or from multiple accounts.

Traditional, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs include this ruling. Roth IRA does not.

If you, your surviving spouse or alternate payee (as defined by the Qualified Domestic Relations Order) decide to take a cash distribution from an IRA instead of rolling over of the funds to a new account, 20% of the distribution will automatically be withheld for federal income tax.

This mandatory 20% withholding does not apply to rollovers, Required Minimum Distributions, excess contributions or death. Additional state taxes may also apply.

Caution: If distributions are not done in accordance with IRS regulations, you may be subject to additional tax penalties.
