Take Control of Your 401K At Age 59 ½ or Earlier

1-Minute Video:

Are you comfortable with the risk, volatility, and potential losses in your 401K plan? We have found most people have a large portion of their retirement savings in their current or old 401Ks, yet they don’t understand or even like their 401K. They feel stuck. 

If you’re working and 59 ½ or older, the IRS allows you to enact an “In-Service Transfer” of your current 401K plan to your IRA of choice, and you won’t pay any income taxes on the transfer.  An “In-Service Transfer” can be very beneficial, if you are trying to reduce risk, fees, or establish a plan now that will provide you guaranteed lifetime income when you retire.

If you are 59 ½ or older, still working and have a million dollars or more in your 401K, the most important thing to do now is to reduce your risk and volatility. And by completing an “In-Service Transfer” of your current 401K plan balance to your I-R-A, your 401K plan isn’t closed, you can still make future contributions while employed until you retire. 

Do you have a 401k plan with a previous employer? You can transfer this at any age to an IRA. If you want to take back control of your 401K plan, call us today.
