I believe that 457 plans don't have the 10% penalty for early withdrawal. However, the taxes will still be a problem. Are they planning on withholding taxes? If so, you'll have to make up the difference and then figure all that out at tax time. It would cleaner and less confusing for all concerned if it was an f/b/o check from the plan, with no taxes withheld. Then you can just pay the taxes due with your return.

| 457 Rollover to Roth IRA I have a 457 plan with my former employer (about $7,000) that I would like to rollover to my existing Vanguard Roth IRA. I am aware that there will be income taxes to pay. But I would rather do that now and also save in the fund cost department. I have talked to the company holding the 457 plan and they gave me a withdrawal form. It looks like they will be doing an electronic transfer to my checking account. I was under the impression that a rollover would go directly to Vanguard. Is there any disadvantages or having it go to me first and then just invest as I would normally?
