Old 401(k)? Bring it into one account, tax-free.

A Rollover IRA on Edgepath Market lets you move funds out of an old employer's 401(k) or 403(b) — without owing tax or an early-withdrawal penalty — and keep them growing tax-deferred alongside the rest of your portfolio.

Why a Rollover IRA

Built for consolidating what old employers left behind

Every job change tends to leave a 401(k) or 403(b) behind. A Rollover IRA gathers those accounts into one place, under your control, without resetting the tax-advantaged clock.

No tax, no penalty

A direct, trustee-to-trustee rollover moves the full balance across without triggering income tax or the 10% early-withdrawal penalty.

Far more investment choice

Old employer plans usually limit you to a short fund list — a Rollover IRA opens up stock shares, real estate, pre-IPO, and crypto.

Consolidate multiple old accounts

Combine several old 401(k)s or 403(b)s into a single Rollover IRA so you're managing one balance instead of several logins.

No cap on the rollover amount

Unlike annual IRA contributions, the amount you roll over from a former employer plan isn't limited by the yearly IRS contribution cap.

Watch the 60-day window

If the funds are paid to you directly (an indirect rollover), you must redeposit them within 60 days to avoid tax and penalties.

Convert to Roth later if you want

Once inside a Rollover IRA, you can later convert some or all of the balance to a Roth IRA, paying tax on the converted amount then.

Who it's for

A Rollover IRA fits best right after you leave a job

Rather than cashing out an old 401(k) — which triggers immediate tax and a possible penalty — or leaving it behind with a former employer, moving it into a Rollover IRA keeps it working under your control.

  • Choose a direct rollover so your former plan sends funds straight to Edgepath Market.
  • If you receive a check instead, redeposit it within 60 days to avoid tax.
  • The rolled-over balance keeps its tax-deferred status — no new tax event.
  • You can still make new annual contributions on top, up to the standard IRA limit.

FAQ

Common Rollover IRA questions

What's the difference between a direct and indirect rollover?

A direct rollover moves funds straight from your old plan to Edgepath Market with no tax withheld. An indirect rollover pays the funds to you first, and you must redeposit the full amount within 60 days to avoid tax and penalties.

Is there a limit on how much I can roll over?

No — the standard annual IRA contribution limit doesn't apply to rollover amounts. It only applies if you also make new, fresh contributions to the account.

Will I owe tax on the rollover?

A properly executed rollover from a traditional 401(k)/403(b) into a Traditional Rollover IRA is not a taxable event — the funds keep their tax-deferred status.

Can I later convert my Rollover IRA to a Roth IRA?

Yes. You can convert some or all of the balance to a Roth IRA at any time — you'll owe ordinary income tax on the converted amount in the year you convert.
