I had a client in the same situation. (I assume you are the person who took out the loan on your own 401(k) ) When the rollover took place, the amount of the outstanding loan was deducted from the rollover amount. So the loan was paid off when the rollover was made. As a broad example, if you had a 401(k) with $10,000 in it, and had a loan of $1,000 against it, the rollover would be for $9,000. So, your steps are (1) open a Rollover IRA and (2) contact your 401(k) administrator and ask for rollover paperwork.
In some cases, people want to transfer the money from their IRA to 401(k) plans. Some of the reasons why people may take such a move are -They have too many retirement accounts and want to consolidate to avoid stress of managing so many accounts.They do not have the time or resource to manage their self directed IRA.If you are thinking of self directed IRA rollover, you should have participated in your current IRA account for atleast 2 years, else the cost of rollover is hefty. Besides, you also need to see that your 401(k) or 403(b) accounts allows you to take such a rollover as according to the laws you can only rollover tax deductible contributions and earnings. So, in the case, you have also made certain non-deductible contributions to your IRA account, you will not be allowed to rollover the entire amount to your 401(k) account. Besides, you must also keep in mind that inherited IRAs are not allowed a rollover to 401(k) accounts.Experts' suggest people to think hard about the investment options and fees in the 401(k) plan before making such a move. Also keep in mind that you can withdraw funds from IRA whenever you need or desire. Though early withdrawal attracts taxes and penalties, but you can still do so if needed. On the other hand, you need to meet certain very hard guidelines for withdrawing money from your 401(k) account.
The 401(k) rollover is a terrific way to take control of retirement investments. While it can be difficult to think about retirement funds when a job change is afoot, the good news is that a rollover can wait until a saner time. The advantages to a 401(k) rollover are to gain greater control of funds, simplify financial monitoring, and lower administrative costs. The terms of a 401(k) are set by the administrator that the employer has chosen to work with. The plan may be excellent, but the choices offered the employee are limited. Often times the choice is limited to one among 3 risk-tolerance tiers. A rollover into an IRA, another employer’s 401(k) account, or any other qualified account gives the owner choice on the manner in which the money will be invested and grown. The rollover will consolidate the funds in the 401(k) with other funds which simplifies the number of statements the owner has to keep track of. Depending upon the owner’s financial standing, all retirement money can be placed in one account or multiple accounts with one financial institution. The rollover also allows the owner to potentially lower the administration fees associated with retirement accounts. IRA’s can be very cost-efficient. The owner should shop around for an account that has right blend of administration and trading fees. A 401(k) rollover can be done virtually at any time after the employee changes employers. A rollover does not have to be done as a part of the separation process. It is true that the employer would like to avoid the administrative cost of carrying non-employees in the 401(k) fund. It is also true that the former employee would like to gain control over the money. However it is far better for the employee to wait until an informed decision can be made with due diligence. The bottom line is that a 401(k) rollover makes sense - it is putting the investment money in a place of the owner’s choosing where the greatest return will be gained at the lowest cost. Once the rollover is complete, life is simplified and the retirement money continues to grow. So rollover, baby, rollover.
It depends on the provisions of your employer. Most will allow a rollover from another qualified plan (meaning an IRA or another 401(k) plan) but you have to be actively employed when you request to roll funds into the 401(k) plan.

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 corporation in a 401(k)

Rolling over a 401(k) directly to a savings account is generally not permitted, as 401(k) funds must be transferred to a qualified retirement account, such as an IRA. If you withdraw your 401(k) funds and deposit them into a savings account, you may incur taxes and penalties. Instead, consider rolling over your 401(k) to an IRA, which can offer similar tax advantages while providing more flexibility. Always consult a financial advisor for personalized advice.
