Is there any disadvantage to rolling a single participant Keogh plan into and IRA . I maintain the plan and do all the reporting ... 5500 forms myself.

Randy, I had a SEP IRA before. My GE capital advisor handled all the paper work. Based on what he told me, the main differences are the contribution limit and paper work. For Keogh, you need to do filing all by yourself. If you are ending your Keogh, I believe it is a great idea to roll over to IRA. You'll save a ton of paper work. No downside as far as I can tell.

yes planning on ending Keogh and the reporting paperwork which is going electronic after this year. Fidelity people agree its a good idea , possibly lose some protection from creditors in a IRA , if that problem every arose.kits · 07/02/2010 09:29:50

Unless you have over $1m assets, a bankruptcy court would exclude that amount of assets in IRAs. It is pretty safe to me (well under $1m) to be in IRA. I read this article: http://www.journalofaccountancy.com/Issues/2006/Jan/ProtectRetirementAssets.htmjcf · 07/02/2010 16:09:03
