APPLICATION OF
ONE- PER- YEAR LIMIT
ON IRA ROLLOVERS
ANNOUNCEMENT
2014- 32
This announcement is a follow- up to Announcement 2014- 15, 2014- 16
I.R.B. 973, addressing the application to Individual Retirement Accounts
and Individual Retirement Annuities (collectively, “IRAs”) of the one-

within each 1- year period even if the rollovers involved different IRAs.
