I don't understand all I know about legalized money laundering, AKA rolling a 401K.
Backstory ... I have been contributing to a 401K and receiveing a company match in stock at 60% for a while now ... maybe 20 years. My comapny is being bought and taken private. As I understand it, if the buyout is approved by the shareholders, my stock will be cashed out at the approved price and I will be issued a check. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Taxes will be withheld (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Help needed ... If I roll it into another approved option within the specified time frame, I can recoup the taxes next return. I understand that. But I want to avoid the tax thing altogether. I want to maintain that 28% of the fund in my retirement and continue it growing. I need some coaching on doing this as I don't understand all I know about it and time to educate myself is running out. Making a mistake or misunderstanding a small detail could have big financial ramifications. |

A good tax person is worth their weight in gold! If you want to hang on to your $ you'll get one and keep working with this person as long as possible, going over your financial situation annually at minimum. They are not always CPAs or FPs but they usually are. Get references. Keeping on top of tax code is a full time job. Then there's knowing what to do with that information once you get it......
sign me- daughter of a good tax man! |
