rollover treatment of 401k after-tax contribs Dick Watson 01-12-2007

To recap:

That's:
One vote for call a pro.
One vote for I can't roll over the after-tax contributions to
the IRA (and see a blog entry on the 14th that never
materialized).
Two votes for a) yes I can roll over the after-tax
contributions to the IRA and yes I would report it on 8606
line 2 or b) yes I can walk with it without tax consequence.

I don't know whether that's a quorum, but I hear two votes
that my original conclusions I came here to confirm are
correct.

Thanks for the help!

(1) See Section 402(a) for the rules for how the after tax
(and the taxable amounts for that matter) are handled.

(`2) See Section 402(c)(2) for the rule allowing the rollover of after
tax amounts from employer retirement plans to IRAs. This was added in
2001.

Those are the official rules. Your understanding agrees
with them.
