One-Rollover-Per-Year Rule
Gold IRA Glossary
An IRS rule limiting you to one indirect IRA-to-IRA rollover in any 12-month period, counted across all of your IRAs. Violating it makes the extra rollover taxable and can create excess contribution problems. Trustee-to-trustee transfers and rollovers from workplace plans do not count against the limit, which is why direct methods are generally preferred for funding a Gold IRA.
