When I finish filling out the information on the website, what forms are produced as part of my rollover package?
This varies based on the financial institution you selected along with how you accessed the website. Each financial institution has a Rollover IRA application, and they may also have a separate authorization form that will be populated with the information you provided during the process.
If you are accessing our website through an employer-sponsored desktop application, a distribution form will also be part of your packet.

What if my application doesn't print correctly?
