IRS permits rollover of retirement annuity contract that passes through a marital deduction
Article Abstract:
The IRS has approved a tax-free spousal rollover of a deceased person's pension benefits that went through an estate trust before being placed in an IRA. Such transactions are usually prohibited if the rollover is not made directly from the plan to the IRA. In this case, the IRS ruled that, as the estate had no discretion as to the ultimate location of the money, it could be ignored, ie- not treated as step on the rollover.

A transitional period exempting from liability plan sponsors who fail to withhold the amount required by law from an offset distribution is also provided for.
