  • See the 9th bullet on p 21 of Pub 575 here:   http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p575.pdf
  • It appears that the 1995 rollover has eliminated your option to do a qualified lump sum distribution and use the 10 year option in any later year. It does not matter that the 1995 distribution was done after 5 years in the plan. All those bullet points in Pub 575 apply separately, so there are several separate limitations which must be met to have a qualified LSD.
