Rolling Over your IRA? Be aware of potential penalties
If you are planning to move funds from one IRA account to another, be sure you understand new rules related to IRA rollovers. Old rules allowed taxpayers to rollover (transfer funds) from each IRA account once every 12 months, regardless of how many IRA accounts the taxpayer owns. This meant that a person with 4 separate IRA accounts could do 4 rollovers each year.
