Leaving an employer and deciding what to do with your retirement account money
ОглавлениеWhen you change jobs, get laid off, or retire, you often are faced with choices about when and how to withdraw money from retirement accounts — such as 401(k)s or 403(b)s — and minimize the tax hit from doing so. Moving money is a decision you have to make today, but don’t make light of this decision because it affects how much money you’ll have in the decades to come.
Some employer plans allow you to keep retirement money in place even if you’re no longer employed with the company. You may choose to accept the offer to keep money in place if it’s a plan with good investment options and low costs. Planning retirement account withdrawals requires long-term tax planning if you want to make the withdrawals in the best way possible. For more information on handling retirement accounts, see Chapter 5.
