403b Rollover

A 403(b) plan, also known as a tax-sheltered annuity (TSA), is a retirement plan for employees of universities, public schools and not-for-profit organizations.

A 403b rollover occurs when you change jobs or retire and then decide to transfer or "rollover" your 403b into an IRA. This process of transferring a 403b with a previous employer into an IRA is referred to as a “403b Rollover”, “Rollover IRA” or “IRA Rollover.”

Frequently a 403b is rolled over into an IRA via a direct rollover.  The assets in your 403b can be transferred from your 403b directly to an IRA via a trustee-to-trustee transfer.  A direct rollover from a 403b to an IRA is made tax-free and there is no tax liability. It is generally to your advantage to choose a direct rollover because your 403b plan administrator will not withhold taxes if you choose this option.
