I rolled over my 401(k) and was taxed and charged a penalty. What happened?
I rolled over my 401(k) last year and my company automatically withheld $15,000 for taxes. I got the remainder (about $60,000) into my IRA way ahead of the 60-day deadline, but my accountant insists that I owe a $1,500 penalty because of the withholding. That doesn't seem right or fair. What can I do about this? —Ticked off in Tempe My husband is in hospice care. Friends say his children are lining up for his money. What can I do? These defense stocks offer the best growth prospects, as the Israel-Iran conflict fuels new interest in the sector Walmart's stock looks like it's in trouble. What the chart says may come next. 'He failed in his fiduciary duty': My brother liquidated our mother's 401(k) for her nursing home. He claimed the rest. My mother-in-law thought the world's richest man needed Apple gift cards. How on Earth could she fall for this scam? This happens often in part because the terminology is confusing. Unfortunately, unless an exception applies, I don't think you can do anything about it if you were under age 59½ at the time the money came out of the 401(k). If you were over age 59½ the penalty should not apply but there is still a tax consequence. Nonetheless, you can prevent this from happening again with future rollovers. If a distribution is deposited into another plan or IRA within 60 days of receipt, there is no tax. The default for 401(k)s and some other retirement plans is to withhold 20% for taxes from distributions out of the plan. This is called 'mandatory withholding,' but it is not truly mandatory as I'll discuss in a bit. (Note this 20% withholding regime does not apply to distributions out of IRAs.) Read: I transferred company stock out of an old 401(k). Now I'm worried I'm facing a nasty tax surprise. What I suspect happened here is that the plan distributed $75,000 but only $60,000 got to the IRA because $15,000 went to Uncle Sam via withholding. The $15,000 withheld was therefore distributed, but not rolled over. Any portion of the distributed amount that are not redeposited in time becomes taxable income and the 10% penalty will apply if you are under 59½. Look closely at your return and you should see $15,000 of taxable income included on Line 5b. Not only are you subject to the penalty, you paid income tax on that $15,000, too. The taxes and penalty could have been avoided if you had deposited $15,000 from other funds in the IRA within the 60-day window. The easiest way to avoid this in the future is to do rollovers as 'direct' rollovers, also called 'direct transfers' or 'trustee to trustee transfers.' Direct rollovers enable a transfer with no tax withholding, so all the funds end up in the receiving account. Rolling over funds this way eliminates the issues with both the 60-day clock and the once per 12-month rules that apply to indirect IRA to IRA rollovers. With a direct rollover the check will not be payable to you. Instead, it will be made payable to the receiving firm and account even if it is mailed to you. These checks would read something like 'Payable to XYZ company FBO (for benefit of) the John Doe IRA.' Though the 20% withholding is described as 'mandatory' 401(k) plans must offer the option to perform rollovers as direct transfers with no withholding. 'I am getting very frustrated': My mother's adviser has not returned my calls. He manages $1 million. Is this normal? I'm in my 80s and have 2 kids. How do I choose between them to be my executor? Gundlach says gold is no longer for lunatics as the bond king says wait to buy the 30-year 'It might be another Apple or Microsoft': My wife invested $100K in one stock and it exploded 1,500%. Do we sell? 'I was pushed out of her life when she was 18': My estranged daughter, 29, misuses drugs. Should I leave her my Roth IRA?

'At AutoZone and O'Reilly's This Is Like $40:' Man Says You Should Buy Your Motor Oil at Walmart. Then He Shows Why
A Walmart shopper was astounded by the cost of oil products at the ubiquitous retailer. Giant (@thegiantant) recorded his shock at seeing how much more competitively priced its offerings were compared to other stores. In a video that's accrued nearly 25,000 views as of this writing, he revealed his disbelief. So is he onto something? Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . In the video, Giant records himself in the automotive section of a Walmart. As he records various bottles of motor oil , he expresses disbelief over the prices. 'Yo I didn't know if this is true or not, but look. At Walmart, this [expletive] like $5 bro.' While saying this, he punches into the price tag of a red quart-sized bottle of Ford Motorcraft oil. The sticker indicates it sells for $5.82. He says the prices of other brands are low as well. Next, he walks over to a separate shelf that displays larger containers of oil. A 1.25 gallon container of Ford Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 oil retails for $25.87. 'That's insane bro. At like AutoZone and O'Reilly this [expletive] like forty bucks, bro,' Giant says. 'Maybe like $35. But like, oil at Walmart is like just a cheat code, bro. Like, it's insane.' Both O'Reilly's and AutoZone's websites state that they sell 1.25 gallon containers of Ford Motorcraft SAE 5W-30 oil for $35.99—more than $10 more than Walmart. Changing Your Own Oil Trending Now This Woman Is Fighting For Your Right To Honk Your Horn There's a Legit Ford GT40 For Sale On Bring a Trailer Right Now Maintenance costs for vehicles vary greatly, depending on the make and model of the car. When it comes to an oil change, the price is affected by whether you choose conventional, synthetic blend, or full synthetic oil. And if your car has a bigger engine, you're going to need more oil, which can also jack up the cost. The price charged by a mechanic or dealer can also vary widely. For instance, if you bring a Porsche 911 into an authorized service center, expect to pay an eye-watering $532-$565, according to RepairPal. Thankfully, most oil changes cost significantly less. Bankrate reports that the average cost of an oil change ranges anywhere from $35-$75 for conventional fluid. If you're opting for synthetic oil, however, that charge jumps up to $65-$125. To avoid these costs, people like Giant change it themselves. You'll have to buy the tools upfront, but these will pay for themselves with the money you save after a few oil changes. However, if changing oil yourself isn't a viable solution, there's still a way to save money on oil changes. Some service centers allow you to bring your own oil. Money Genius writes that the cheapest place to buy oil is Costco. The retailer purportedly sells two 1.25-gallon jugs of its Kirkland Full Synthetic 5W30 oil for $49.99, or roughly $25 apiece, just a few cents less than the Walmart product in Giant's clip. Money Genius notes that Walmart also offers low-cost oil and says Amazon is another place you can find oil on the cheap. Walmart motor oil: A Well-Kept Secret or Common Knowledge? While Giant was obviously surprised by how cheap oil is at Walmart, it's not exactly a state secret. As one person put it: 'I ain't goin lie bro you so late.' Another person questioned why anyone would buy oil at an auto supply store. 'Who the hell buys oil at auto parts stores?' 'Wait till you get a load of Costco oil,' a third wrote. Motor1 has reached out to Walmart via email and Giant via TikTok comment for further information. We'll update this article if either party gets back to us.
