Step 1: Decide on Your IRA Type!
Traditional IRA or Roth IRA? Consider your current income, tax bracket, and future needs. A Traditional IRA offers tax-deferred growth, while a Roth IRA offers tax-free withdrawals in retirement (if you meet certain requirements). Research which is best for you!

Step 3: Initiate the Rollover!
Contact your 401k provider and your chosen brokerage. There are two main ways to rollover:
Direct Rollover: Your 401k provider sends the funds directly to your IRA. This is the simplest and recommended method.
Indirect Rollover: You receive a check from your 401k, but you must deposit it into your IRA within 60 days to avoid taxes and penalties.
