Taxation Insights

U.S. citizens are subject to federal gift and estate taxes on transfers of their assets during life (via gift tax) or at death (via estate tax). However, they enjoy certain exemptions, such as exclusions and deductions. For individuals who aren’t U.S. citizens, traditional estate planning tools may not adequately minimize their gift and estate tax exposure.

There are many several positive reasons for rolling over funds from one IRA to another, or from a 401(k) plan or other employer retirement plan to an IRA. They include wanting to consolidate retirement savings into one account or moving funds from one account into another that offers more attractive investment options. Care should be taken to avoid the common mistakes that can happen when rolling over.
