Part II - Qualified Plan and IRA Rollovers vs Transfers

As we continue our journey down the mountain, we come to the most abused terminology in IRAs. Everyone knows you can only do one rollover from your total IRA plans in a 12 month period – right? But what does that once-per-12-month rule apply to – IRA rollovers? QP Rollovers? Conversions? As you can see below, this is a jam-packed informational Webinar.
