Pretax 401k and Roth 401k are two separate subaccounts in your overall 401k plan account.

  • You must roll over the Roth 401k to Roth IRA or the Roth 401k at your new job. Roth cannot be rolled over to traditional.
  • You should roll over the pretax 401k to your traditional IRA or the pretax 401k at your new job.

I have a ROTH IRA account I was planning to rollover to. Is that okay?

Yes.

  • Roth 401k --> Roth IRA: No tax.
  • Traditional 401k --> Roth IRA: Amount rolled over is ordinary income in the calendar year of rollover.

Traditional 401k should be put into a rollover (aka traditional) IRA. Otherwise OP will have to pay taxes

Over it’s in the traditional, OP can make decisions about how much, if any, to convert each year. Don’t forget to invest in each, OP.

It is okay but you will pay taxes on the pre-tax amount you roll over.
