The Roth IRA is the best long term investment because you get the money out later with no tax on it though you do pay some as you pay into it.
You must have a roth ira open. When you are separated from your employer, or turn 59.5, you can instruct your employer to directly roll your 401k over to the roth ira.
No, you can only roll a 457 into a traditional IRA As of January 1, 2008, you can roll over pre-tax 401(k), 401(a), 403(b), and 457 plans directly into a Roth IRA
The Roth IRA was created by Senator William Roth out of Delaware. What IRA stands for is Individual Retirement Agreement. I have also seen it as Individual Retirement Account.
It is a Roth IRA; which is an Individual Retirement Arrangement
You can roll your 401(k) to a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA is pre-taxed dollars, so when you withdraw the money upon retirement, there will be no taxes on it as the taxes are already paid.

Roth IRA investment can contribute support for you when you your employer does not offer a 401(k) plan but you still want to invest for retirement or if you want to invest in a wider selection of investment choices than your 401(k) plan offers.
Yes, as long as the individual has earned income, they can contribute to a Roth IRA regardless of their age. There are no age restrictions for contributing to a Roth IRA if you have earned income.
No you cannot. SEP-IRAs are contributory in nature meaning you can make contributions to them but you cannot rollover non-SEP-IRAs (or 401k accounts) into a SEP-IRA. If your SEP IRA is likely to become substantial or you have funds in a 401(k) from a previous employer and you are an one person (or one person with a spouse) business, you should look into individual 401(k)s. All of the major financial institution and self-directed trust companies offer them. They work like a corporate 401(k) but you have complete control. They may be better than a SEP since: 1. The contribution limits are higher 2. You can borrow against the 401(k) but not a SEP 3. You can have a Roth 401(k) but you cannot make Roth contributions to a SEP 4. You can buy life insurance or invest in a S corporationin a 401(k)
Yes. An individual may make IRA contributions to both a Roth and aTraditional IRA, providing the combined contribution total does not exceed the contribution limit for the year.
Roth is the type of IRA. IRA means individual retirement account. A Roth IRA differs from a traditional IRA in that the deposit is not tax deductible for income tax purposes. Also, the gain over time is not taxable when the account matures and the amount is withdrawn for retirement income.
ROTH IRA and Traditional IRA may differ in many ways. Few examples of their differences are: Roth IRA has no tax break for contributions; tax free earnings and withdrawal in retirement. While the Traditional IRA has tax deduction during contribution year; an ordinary income tax owned on withdrawals.
The Roth 401(k) retirement plan was authorized by the United States Congress under the Internal Revenue Code. It's a combination of the Roth IRA and the traditional 401(k) plan. You can find more information about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roth_401%28k%29.
