Which plans qualify for rollover distributions?

Funds for an IRA rollover may come from a variety of employer-sponsored plans, including:

  • 401(k), profit sharing, thrift or money purchase pension plans
  • 403(b) plans for teachers and employees of certain tax-exempt organizations
  • Governmental 457(b) plans
  • Defined benefit pension plans
  • Qualified stock bonus and employee stock ownership plans*

As a rule, all or any part of a distribution from a qualified plan can be rolled over into an IRA. Some exceptions include:

But what if I need to access the money in my IRA?

* With certain rollover accounts, you may be able to elect a "transfer-in-kind," in which your shares of company stock are moved to your new account. However, in order to move these assets to an Natixis Funds Rollover IRA, you must first liquidate the shares of stock and roll over the proceeds. Please note that this type of liquidation can result in significant tax consequences. Be sure to speak with your financial and/or tax advisor for help with this important decision.
