Important Changes
Required distributions. The IRS announced new rules
that simplify the calculation of required distributions. See
Required distributions under Tax on Excess Accumulation.
Rollovers to and from qualified retirement plans. For
distributions made after 2001, for rollover purposes,
tax-sheltered annuity plans (403(b) plans) and eligible
state or local government section 457 deferred compensa-
tion plans are qualified retirement plans. See Rollovers.
Hardship distribution rollovers. A hardship distribution
made after 2001 from any retirement plan is not an eligible
rollover distribution. See Rollovers.
Time for making rollover. The 60-day period for com-
pleting the rollover of an eligible rollover distribution may
be extended for distributions made after 2001 in certain
cases of casualty, disaster, or other events beyond your
reasonable control. See Rollovers.
