An IRA can be used to roll over a lump sum distribution from a qualified retirement plan. A rollover IRA provides a tax-deferred way to reinvest a distribution you may receive from a company retirement investment plan such as a 401(k), a profit sharing, or a pension plan.

ADVANTAGES:

• Postpone paying income taxes on your earnings



• Continue to accumulate tax-deferred income



• Avoid paying a 10% premature distribution tax (if you are below age 59 1/2)
