Direct transfers of IRA money are not limited

This change won't affect your ability to transfer funds from one IRA trustee directly to another, because this type of transfer isn't a rollover (Revenue Ruling 78-406, 1978-2 C.B. 157). The one-rollover-per-year rule of Internal Revenue Code Section 408(d)(3)(B) applies only to rollovers.
