WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH YOUR RETIREMENT PLAN MONEY?
Your 401k, 403b, 457 plan, Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA), TERI or pension plan represents a critical part of your financial future; and whether you're retiring, changing jobs, quitting, being laid off, or ready to receive a lump sum from your former employer, when and how to take this distribution is a critical decision and one that can’t be changed once it has been made. It's an irrevocable decision with your life savings at stake so it’s important that you don’t make the choice by the seat of your pants, on your own, or limit your advice to a friend or an employee in the HR department.
Typically, when you're in transition, you have 4 basic options to consider when deciding what to do with your retirement account savings:
OPTION 1: TAKE YOUR SAVINGS IN CASH
Pros
- Immediate access to a portion of your money
Cons
- Your savings no longer grow tax-deferred
- A 10% early withdrawal penalty generally applies to people under age 59 1/2
- You will be subject to all applicable federal, state, and local taxes
- Without compound growth, you may compromise your wealth in retirement
- The distribution may push you into a higher tax bracket
OPTION 2: ROLL YOUR SAVINGS INTO AN IRA
Pros
- Money continues to grow tax-deferred
- You avoid the 10% early withdrawal penalty if under age 59.5
- Additional investment options may be available
- You control how to access your savings
- You have the potential to convert assets to a Roth IRA in the future
- You have the potential to move IRA Rollover assets into a future employers plan
- Depending on the receiving IRA company, there may be tax advantages for your beneficiaries
Cons
- Mandatory distributions are required at age 70.5
- Additional paperwork is required to create and transfer your money
Note: The choice is obvious, yet the procedure - usually called an IRA Rollover or Trustee-to-Trustee transfer - is intricate. I perform these rollovers regularly.
