Moving money the other way, from an IRA into a 401(k), is known as a reverse rollover. A rollover is tax terminology for when you move the balance from one retirement plan into another plan. As long as you complete the rollover within 60 days, it’s penalty-free and non-taxable.
Can I put my IRA into my 401k?
