Rollovers must be completed within 60 days of receiving funds out of the old account, and only one rollover can occur per year. Direct transfers of retirement account funds to a new qualified account can be a more efficient method and can avoid breaking many of these rules by mistake.

How long does it take to roll over from one retirement plan to another?

Are there limits to how many Ira transfers you can make in one year?
Instead of receiving a distribution from your IRA and rolling it over in 60 days, with a transfer your IRA funds move directly from one IRA trustee to another. There are no limits on how many transfers you can do. The pesky once-per-year rollover rule never applies to transfers!
