does that count as my contribution to the year? or can I still put in my $5500 on top of the roll over?

$5500 is the limit for a Roth IRA not a traditional IRA so you will still be able to contribute the $5500 to the Roth.

Pretty sure $5500 is for traditional as well, as long as you are under 50

The limit for both are the same and you can only put $5500 per year into one or the other. As for the rollover, because it is a rollover and not a contribution it will not count as your current year contribution.

You could really mess up someone's finances with bad information. Please don't talk about things that you don't know about

While I agree whole-heartedly with your comment, I hope nobody makes Money Talk their final destination with regard to financial advice.

Well this is not a really complicated matter, so being 100% wrong is about as bad as you could do.


A person should be able to ask such an easy question without having to worry about being given that kind of advice

I'm really surprised people don't Google and read up on these subjects. It's information that is readily available.

I completely agree. I was blown away by the guy who thought he had been maxing out his 401k by putting in 15%. Literally speechless.

I think when I signed up with my company they would allow you to put up to 90% in

I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that though

I assume that the employer would stop taking it out once you hit the yearly max?
