2. Exceptions to the Rule

The above figures do not correspond to rollover contributions. When rollovers occur you usually don’t pay taxes on it. You may face taxes when you withdraw funds from the new plan. Payments that are not rolled over may be taxable unless they are qualified Roth distributions or in other certain cases. There are also exceptions for those looking for or who have received Coronavirus related tax relief. We highly recommend you consult your bookkeeper to help you make the most of your IRA contributions for last year and next year.
