Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 401(k) rollover?

A 401(k) rollover transfers retirement assets from a former employer's qualified plan into an IRA, annuity contract, or other eligible retirement vehicle. The transaction often expands investment selection, reduces ongoing plan expenses, and unlocks access to guaranteed income solutions unavailable inside the legacy plan.

Will I pay taxes on a 401(k) rollover?

A direct trustee-to-trustee rollover into a Traditional IRA or qualified annuity is a non-taxable event with no early-withdrawal penalty. A conversion to a Roth IRA is taxable on the converted amount in the year of conversion. Advanced Capital Management evaluates the optimal structure given the client's marginal tax bracket and long-term plan.

What is a TSP rollover?

A Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) rollover transfers federal retirement assets into an IRA or annuity contract. ACM advises federal employees — including personnel from the Bay Pines VA Medical Center and the U.S. Coast Guard — on TSP rollover sequencing, withdrawal coordination, and FERS/CSRS integration.

Should I leave my money in my old 401(k)?

Legacy 401(k) plans frequently carry restricted investment menus and embedded administrative expenses. ACM provides a written comparative analysis — retain, roll over, or convert — quantifying the cost and benefit of each option.
