What is a rollover IRA account?

A rollover IRA account is created when funds from a qualified plan such as a 401k are converted. This typically occurs either when the account holder changes jobs or employers, or when the individual is retiring. Funds can be rolled over into an IRA account without paying a penalty or income taxes as long as the funds directly transfer from one custodian to another.
