Retirement Rollover Flexibility Act
To amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permit rollover contributions from Roth IRAs to designated Roth accounts.
Summary
This bill would allow individuals to transfer money directly from Roth IRAs to designated Roth accounts in employer-sponsored retirement plans (such as 401(k)s) through trustee-to-trustee transfers, provided the Roth IRA meets certain conditions. The transfers must be from an "eligible Roth IRA," generally defined as the only Roth IRA the individual maintains and one with a balance below a specified threshold. When such a transfer is made, the entire amount is treated as an investment in the contract for tax purposes, meaning it would not be subject to additional taxation at the time of transfer. The bill also coordinates these rollover rules with existing tax law provisions that determine when distributions from the source plan are considered to have been made. These amendments would apply to amounts paid or distributed after the bill's enactment date.
