Rollover Tax Considerations
If you choose to rollover your assets into a qualified option, such as an IRA or tax-qualified Individual Retirement Annuity, you are able to avoid paying potentially high taxes. However, after consulting with your tax or legal advisor, if you decide to receive a cash payment of all or a portion of your accumulated savings and not roll over the money to another qualified investment, 20% of the payment amount will be withheld for federal taxes. If you are under age 59½, you could also be responsible for an additional 10% early-withdrawal penalty.1
Upon retirement, distributions of any remaining savings will be taxed as ordinary income.
