IRA Rollover mistake

May 19, 2008 1 Replies

In December, I wanted to rollover my funds from a profit sharing to an individual IRA with scudder. I thought I had done it correctly until today when my accountant told me that it was just a regular individual account and in effect, I had taken a distribution. It has been past



60 days. Scudder is still looking into it. If the mistake is not corrected I will have a huge tax liablility plus penalties. Any advice would be sincerely appreciated.

There is not enough information here. Tell us what you did to do the rollover. What paperwork do you have? Did you do the paperwork, or did someone else? Does it say to rollover into an IRA?
