Your distribution options 1 Take the distribution in cash 2 3 4 Leave the money in your former employer s retirement plan Roll the eligible assets into your new employer s retirement plan Roll the eligible assets into a Rollover IRA
Distribution option 1 TAKING THE DISTRIBUTION IN CASH Potential implications of a $30,000 000 early cash distribution of an eligible rollover amount from a 401(k) plan assuming: 20% mandatory federal income tax withholding 10% early-distribution penalty 5% additional federal income taxes may be owed Taxes and penalties $10,500 $19,500 Money remaining Among the options available for 401(k) assets are directly rolling over the assets to another tax-deferred retirement account or taking a lump-sum cash distribution. This chart illustrates the potential impact of taxes and penalties that a cash distribution from a 401(k) plan might trigger if taken before age 59½, assuming a 25% federal ordinary income tax rate. Local and state taxes, account fees, and expenses are not taken into account. If such taxes, fees, and expenses were deducted, the amount of assets eligible for rollover would be lower.

As of 2008, if you qualify, you'll be able to directly roll over eligible 401(k) assets into a Roth IRA. Amounts are subject to income taxes in the year of rollover to the Roth IRA.
Tax-deferred vs. taxable account Potential advantages of $30,000 (pretax) rolled directly to an IRA versus taking a lump-sum cash distribution and investing the net proceeds of $19,500 (after-tax)* in a taxable account $350,000 $300,000 $250,000 $200,000 Potential growth after taxes (7% annual rate of return) Taxable Account Rollover IRA $240,223 $150,000 $100,000 $50,000 $33,626 $44,261 $76,143 $122,117 $131,302 $0 10 Years 25 Years 35 Years *The $19,500 assumes the $30,000 cash distribution was subject to a 25% federal ordinary income tax rate and a 10% early distribution penalty. This hypothetical ti compares a $30,000 000 (pretax) distribution ib ti from a 401(k) plan taken as a direct rollover to a Rollover IRA to a lump-sum early cash distribution from a 401(k) plan with the net proceeds of $19,500 (after-tax) invested in a taxable account and after-tax amounts potentially available with each. Assumptions include a 7% annual rate of return and blended annual income tax rate of 20% on taxable account earnings deducted at the end of the year. State and local taxes and account fees and expenses are not taken into account. If they were deducted, performance would be lower. The hypothetical is not intended to predict or project the investment performance of any security. Your own results will vary.

Understand your options Know the tax implications Be aware of timing issues Direct rollover: assets are directly transferred to the new custodian Indirect rollover: you generally have 60 days to roll over the money you received to the new custodian to avoid taxes* Look ahead weigh the potential effects on long-term planning and future income *Any portion not rolled over within the time limit, including the 20% withheld, is considered income in the year distributed, and may also be subject to a 10% penalty if you are under 59½. If you wish to roll over the 20% that was withheld, you will have to fund it from another source and then seek the return of the amount withheld when you file your federal tax return. The 60-day time limit for rollovers is increased to 120 days for amounts (up to $10,000) distributed from an IRA for a qualified first-time home purchase that does not materialize.
