In Direct IRA Rollover and Direct Transfer in Same Year?

A person I work with was free looked $400K from his IRA with an insurance company in the amount of $400K. In February of 2013 they received the refund check of $400K. They sent $200K to a brokerage IRA and $200K to a SPIA via personal check. So an In-Direct rollover took place.

Now they would like to do a Direct Transfer of some of their funds to a new IRA. Does the IRS allow this transaction?

Thank you!



A direct transfer can always be made without limitation.By the way, I hope the SPIA was in an IRA, otherwise that portion is not a rollover and would be taxable. 

Yes the SPIA was an IRA.  Thanks once again for your input.  I was 99% sure of the answer but always like to check with THE Expert.  I appreciate your help very much!!
