IRA consolidation question

Hello,

I have a new investment client (husband). His primary investments (in terms of account balance) consist of an account maintained by his wife (had been in a FLP and was dissolved earlier this year) – total is around $1.5M.

This individual has an Inherited Traditional IRA; Inherited Roth IRA and TOD with my firm. The total once everything is funded should be around $550k. Separately, Client also has a SEP IRA worth around $140k and some other assets.

In any event, he has 2 very small accounts at the prior custodian (TDAI): (1) a Trad. IRA worth $1,870 and (2) a Rollover (Trad.) IRA worth $6,116. Given these values, if moved over to my firm’s mgt. is there any reason we cannot combine the Trad. IRA w/ the Rollover IRA – since creditor protection is really a moot point as these values would be covered by the available laws whether subject to Federal or State.

Alternatively, can he roll-over both the Trad. IRA and Rollover IRA into his SEP IRA maintained elsewhere?

We’re trying to consolidate where possible the # of accounts.

Please advise. Thanks.

Jason



Yes, with these small amounts there is no reason not to combine them (by direct non reportable transfers) or even transferring them into the SEP IRA in order to eliminate 2 accounts.
