Question

An employee quits her job where she has a balance of $10,000 in her qualified plan. The balance was paid out directly to the employee in order for her to move the funds to a new account. If she decides to rollover her plan to a Traditional IRA, how much will she receive from the plan administrator and how long does she have to complete the tax-free rollover?

Answer 1

Answer:

$8,000, and she has to complete 60 days

Explanation:

Whenever money has to be taken out of the first plan, then it is the requirement of IRA to complete the rollover within 60 days, also the amount to be withheld is 20% this is in the case where the amount is directly paid o the concerned participant. Then the person concerned for such payment has to keep 20%

Here in the instance Total amount = $10,000

20% of such = $2,000

Thus, amount received from the administrator = 80% = $10,000 $\times$ 80% = $8,000
