Rolling over a 401(k) or transferring an IRA

When you rollover an old 401(k) or IRA, your pre-tax contributions will be directed into a Traditional IRA, while any post-tax contributions will go into a Roth IRA to preserve the tax status of your savings.

If you have questions or need help with your rollover, BeeKeepers are ready to assist via live chat, phone, or email.
