You can never get another tax benefit from it.

To get the tax benefit it must be new money. Not already in a tax
advantaged account.

You cannot deduct the money a second time. If it's in the 403b,
you already didn't pay taxes on it (ie. it wasn't counted as
income).

You can roll it into an IRA and not have to pay taxes on it
in the process - it's in a tax-protected account and it'll
remain in a tax-protected account. But you cannot deduct
it again.

That's what it means. If you contributed the $4000 to the 403(b), then
you already got a tax break on it, and you can't get a second break on
the same money. You can roll the 403(b) into an IRA to get more
control of it, but not to get another tax break. The tax break comes
when you contribute new money, as from your salary, savings, or non-
qualified investments.

Default feedback on rolling over a 403b to IRA from Fidelity

I called Fidelity today to aks them if I could roll over some money
from a 403b and start an IRA and claim that amount as a deduction from
2006 taxes. Below is their reponse.

Any ideas about this. Does this mean I can't do it and get a tax
benefit before April 17?
