<prompt> Human: I have about 50K in my former employers pre-tax traditional 401K plan. If I roll over to a traditional IRA like Vanguard, would I violate the 5500 IRA limit contribution for the year?  <response>: No. Rollovers are not considered contributions, and they do not have any interaction with the 5500 limit. You are safe to roll over.If youre curious, IRS Publication 590-A is the one to read about retirement plans and contributions and conversions.
