QUESTION: Please send me a answer to my question where or not I can do a direct-rollover contribution to my new solo 401k plan form my Traditional IRA since I already did a 60 day IRA rollover contribution to my IRA back in March of this year.
ANSWER: I read IRS Pub 590 (the
publication that applies to IRAs) and it appears that even though the 1 per 12
month rollover rule has already been exercised, that if you now process a
direct-rollover to a solo 401k instead of a rollover it would be okay. A direct
rollover means that the IRA distribution check would be made payable in the
name of the solo 401k and a letter "G"
would be used by the IRA custodian processing the direct rollover check to
report the direct rollover on Form1099-R. So the key is to have the check made payable in the name of the
solo 401k not in your name, as the latter would be deemed a rollover.
Thank you, Zach in Maryland
