Yes, if the Certificate of Deposit is inside an IRA account or another 401k account.

If you are eligible to take a 401k distribution, you could take the money and buy a regular CD, but you would pay the same taxes and penalties that would apply if you didn't roll the money over.

But you can roll a 401k over into another retirement account such as an IRA at a bank and buy a CD with the money in the new account without any taxes or penalties as long as you kept the CD in the IRA account.

Can money be rolled from a current employer 401k plan into a rollover IRA all the while keeping the 401k open?

only if the current employer allows in-service withdrawals.


How can I get a 401k to help with retirement?

What you do is deposit money into the 401k during your entire working career. Then, when you retire, the money is there for you to live on (provided that you don't withdraw any money). Social security and any pension you get is not enough to live on in this economy. With the 401k, you can have extra funds when you aren't working.


Rollovers to a 401k plan from a flexible variable annuity?

The only accounts that can be rolled into a 401k plan are other old 401k plans. You can not co-mingle the accounts. Once you rollover a 401k to an IRA or Annuity, you forfeit the right to put the money back into another 401k plan. However, there is really no benefit to putting the money back into a 401k plan in the first place. The money you roll in isn't matched, and your investment choices are typically somewhat limited with an employer plan.

Roll Over the 401K to Avoid Penalties?

Money invested into a 401K is taken out before taxes are calculated. If you close out that 401K early you will not only pay tax on the amount you receive, but you will also be hit with a early withdrawal penalty of 10%. The only way to avoid those penalties is to roll the 401K over into another qualifying 401K or other retirement account. Start by checking at your new job to see if the money can be rolled over into their retirement account. If they don't offer a 401K, or if you just don't care for what they have, you can transfer that money into a qualifying account with your bank or local credit union. Be sure to do it within 90 days to avoid being hit with penalties.


Convert 401k to roth 401k?

Not sure what you are asking, but generally you cannot simply convert your 401k to a Roth 401k, unless this is something your current company offers. If it is offered, then you would have to pay taxes on the amount that you rolled into a roth 401k, but would never pay any other tax on the gains or distributions.


What is the 401k rollover and what does it do?

A 401k is money in an account that has been contributed by you and established by your employer. When you leave that job, you can move the money to a new account which is called a 401k rollover.


What's the difference between a 401k and a Roth 401k?

The 401k is not taxed but the Roth 401k will be best in the long run as the money you get out wont be taxed then.
