1 Roll over a traditional 401(k) into a traditional IRA, tax-free. 2  Roll over a Roth 401(k) into a Roth IRA, tax-free.  Roll over a traditional 401(k) into a Roth IRAâthis would be considered a Roth conversion, so you'd owe taxes.
When you perform a rollover, you must report it on your income tax return, even if you do not owe any taxes on the rollover. People may roll over money to consolidate their retirement accounts, seek higher returns or convert money from a tax-deferred IRA to a Roth IRA. credit: Jupiterimages/Photos.com/Getty Images.
