Substantially Equal Payments. If a taxpayer converts a traditional IRA to a Xxxx XXX where the traditional IRA was subject to the substantially equal periodic payment exception, the same periodic payments must continue from the Xxxx XXX. However, for 1998 conversions where the taxpayer is using the 4-year spread rule, the payments from the Xxxx XXX will be subject to the income acceleration rule. Thus, in addition to the normal 1/4th amount, the substantially equal amount is also includible in the participant's gross income for each year until the full taxable conversion has been so included. This rule also applies to 2010 conversions subject to the 2-year income spread. Types of Plans Permitted to be Converted - Traditional regular IRAs, Rollover "conduit" IRAs, and SEP IRAs may be converted to a Xxxx XXX, so long as the taxpayer meets the eligibility requirements until 2010 when the conversion eligibility rules were eliminated. A SIMPLE IRA may also be converted to a Xxxx XXX, but only after such SIMPLE IRA is no longer subject to the 2-year holding period applicable to SIMPLE IRAs. Also, qualified plans, §403(b) plans and governmental §457(b) plans may be converted to a Xxxx XXX. Required Minimum Distributions - Any required minimum amount must first be distributed before any of the remaining amount can be converted to the Xxxx XXX. DISTRIBUTIONS FROM A XXXX XXX Taxation of Distributions - "Qualified distributions" are neither subject to Federal income tax nor the 10% additional income tax for premature distributions. Nonqualified distributions are taxable to the extent such distribution is attributable to the income earned in the account. When you start withdrawing from your Xxxx XXX, you may take the distributions in regular payments, random withdrawals or in a single sum payment. Qualified Distributions - A Qualified Distribution is one that is both made:
