| If anyone has had any experience in successfully applying for an extension to 60 day rollover requirement from one IRA to another IRA, please advise. Thank you | |

| There's an automatic waiver if they meet certain requirements which, as you guessed, is automatic. If they don't qualify for the automatic waiver they can apply for one. You apply in the same way as for a letter ruling. It really isn't an "extension" but rather a waiver. Extension tends to be something you apply for before the due date, while a waiver applies after you missed it. If they haven't passed the due date they can still make the rollover contribution, so what they want is a waiver. Good luck... | |

| Fa,
You need to find out 'WHY they missed the rollover period, if beyond reasonable control, such as: casualty, disaster, financial institution error, etc.. then they might have a shot at waiving the penalty, otherwise, who knows. | |
