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.
