indirect transfer from same IRA within 60 days?

I have a client that needs funds for the closing of a house. They want to pull the funds from their IRA to use for the closing of the house. They will subsequently have proceeds from the sale of another home within a few days and would like to put those funds back into the same IRA. Can we do this and it be considered a 60 day rollover?



Yes, as long as no other 60 day rollover was done in the prior 12 months. It should also be noted that when the 60 day deadline depends on a real estate closing, the deadline is often missed. Therefore, in this situation the risk is substantially higher that the deadline would be missed.
