What Decisions Need to Be Made?

Do you want the money now?

If you want to take all or part of your money in cash, you will pay ordinary income taxes – and possibly a 10% penalty – on whatever portion is not rolled directly into an IRA or another employer’s plan.
Do you want to pay the tax later?

If you want to keep deferring taxes and maintain control over your money, you can transfer your assets directly from the current plan into a traditional IRA or another employer’s plan if the plan allows a rollover.
Do you want to pay a one-time tax today?

If you want to take advantage of a Roth IRA and ultimately withdraw your money tax-free, you can now roll directly into a Roth IRA, which requires you to pay tax on the distribution amount in the year of the rollover
