If I do a rollover to an IRA, will the 10% additional income tax apply to early distributions from the IRA?
If you receive a payment from an IRA when you are under age 59 1/2, you will have to pay the 10% additional
income tax on early distributions from the IRA, unless an exception applies. In general, the exceptions to the
10% additional income tax for early distributions from an IRA are the same as the exceptions listed above for
early distributions from a plan. However, there are a few differences for payments from an IRA, including:
y There is no exception for payments after separation from service that are made after age 55.
y The exception for qualified domestic relations orders (QDROs) does not apply (although a special rule
applies under which, as part of a divorce or separation agreement, a tax-free transfer may be made
directly to an IRA of a spouse or former spouse).
y The exception for payments made at least annually in equal or close to equal amounts over a specified
period applies without regard to whether you have had a separation from service.
y There are additional exceptions for (1) payments for qualified higher education expenses, (2) payments
up to $10,000 used in a qualified first-time home purchase, and (3) payments after you have received
unemployment compensation for 12 consecutive weeks (or would have been eligible to receive
unemployment compensation but for self-employed status).
Will I owe State income taxes?
This notice does not describe any State or local income tax rules (including withholding rules).
SPECIAL RULES AND OPTIONS
If your payment includes after-tax contributions
After-tax contributions included in a payment are not taxed. If a payment is only part of your benefit, an allocable
portion of your after-tax contributions is generally included in the payment. If you have pre-1987 after-tax
contributions maintained in a separate account, a special rule may apply to determine whether the after-tax
contributions are included in a payment.
You may roll over to an IRA a payment that includes after-tax contributions through either a direct rollover or a
60-day rollover. You must keep track of the aggregate amount of the after-tax contributions in all of your IRAs (in
order to determine your taxable income for later payments from the IRAs). If you do a direct rollover of only a
portion of the amount paid from the Plan and a portion is paid to you, you can decide whether you want to
rollover your after tax portion or have it paid directly to you as a cash distribution. If you do a 60-day rollover to
an IRA of only a portion of the payment made to you, the after-tax contributions are treated as rolled over last.
For example, assume you are receiving a complete distribution of your benefit which totals $12,000, of which
$2,000 is after-tax contributions. In this case, if you roll over $10,000 to an IRA in a 60-day rollover, no amount
is taxable because the $2,000 amount not rolled over is treated as being after-tax contributions.
You may roll over to an employer plan all of a payment that includes after-tax contributions, but only through a
direct rollover (and only if the receiving plan separately accounts for after-tax contributions and is not a
governmental section 457(b) plan). You can do a 60-day rollover to an employer plan of part of a payment that
includes after-tax contributions, but only up to the amount of the payment that would be taxable if not rolled
over.
