What to do with your old 401k

If you've changed jobs or retired, there's a good chance you still have a retirement plan with a former employer.

Deciding what to do with an old 401(k), 403(b), or 457 plan is an important financial decision. Your old employer retirement plan may be one of your most valuable retirement assets. While it's easy to put this decision off, understanding your options can help you avoid unnecessary taxes and make more informed decisions about your retirement savings.

To help you get started, ask yourself these questions:

  1. What are my options for my old employer retirement plan?

  2. Do I have to move it?

  3. Should I leave it where it is or roll it over?

  4. Could moving it trigger taxes?

  5. Is an IRA the right choice for me?

  6. How can this account fit into my retirement income plan?

To help answer those questions, I'd like to share this complimentary guide with you:
