Frequently Asked Question

Can I borrow from an IRA without penalty?

Yes. A 60-day rollover rule applies to all types of IRAs. This 60-day rollover rule allows you to withdraw assets from your IRA and roll over the amount within 60 days in order to avoid paying taxes and/or the early distribution penalty on the amount.

Some reminders:
- You may distribute and roll over the same assets only once during a 12-month period.
- The same assets you withdraw must be the same you roll over to your IRA. For instance, if you withdraw cash, you must roll over cash. If you withdraw shares of ABC stock, you must roll over shares of ABC stock.
