Crypto IRA Transfer

Transferring an IRA from one institution to another will be the same process, regardless of your current custodian. First, you’ll need to contact your current provider and let them know you’d like to do a “trustee-to-trustee” transfer. This type of transfer will allow you to move your IRA funds without triggering any taxable events or penalties. You will, of course, need authorization information such as passwords and account numbers to start this process, but once you’ve been authenticated, an IRA to IRA transfer is usually a pretty simple process. When you sign up for a crypto IRA on My Digital Money, our customer success team will handle your IRA transfer for you. After you sign up, we’ll gather some account information from you so we can speak with your current provider and take everything from there.

Absolutely. If you’re no longer happy with your 401(k) or simply want to move the funds to a self-directed retirement plan, you can roll over your 401(k) to an IRA without incurring any taxes or penalties. There is no limit on the amount that you can roll over and, once complete, you will have access to a much larger variety of investment options. Unlike an IRA transfer, we can’t handle this process for you, but our team is ready and able to help with every step of your 401(k) to IRA rollover.

You can only roll over a 401K for a non-active employer, one that you are no longer contributing to.

The IRS only allows you to roll over an IRA one time per year. In addition, you also can’t make a rollover during this 1-year period from the IRA to which the distribution was rolled over. As of January 1, 2015, the IRS added a new rule stating that you can only make one rollover in any 12-month period, regardless of the number of IRAs you own. The limit bundles together all of an individual’s IRAs and treats them as one IRA for purposes of the limit. This limit does not apply to:

• rollovers from traditional IRAs to Roth IRAs
• trustee-to-trustee transfers to another IRA
• IRA-to-plan rollovers
• plan-to-IRA rollovers
• plan-to-plan rollovers
