Isn't there a cap on the amount you can put into an IRA per year or does this not qualify for that because you're rolling into from 1 retirement account to another?



It has a cap. I'm not telling you to not do the 401k. I'm just saying roll it into an IRA. You can money in different places you know.

Rollovers don't go against your IRA contributions. You just have to set up what is called a "Rollover IRA".

Generally it's best to do it to a rollover IRA, because most 401K plans have crappy investment options.

I'm in the same situation. Have a significant sum sitting in an old employer 401K.

I can you roll this into a say Vanguard IRA?

I have no idea about how to get this process going??

fwiw, I already have a roth w/ Vanguard.
