SEP-IRA, or SIMPLE-IRA (“deconverting”); or

Helpful to Know
The IRS allows you to treat certain IRA contributions made
to one type of IRA as having been made to a different
type of IRA. This is known as “recharacterization.” You can
recharacterize all or part of the contribution amount. Any
net income attributable to the contribution also will be
recharacterized.
All recharacterizations of Fidelity IRAs are processed in kind.
All recharacterizations from any Inherited IRA must be
recharacterized into another Inherited IRA.
Per IRS Notice 2000-39, calculation of the applicable
earnings is based on a pro rata portion of the earnings
accrued in the IRA during the period the IRA actually held
the contribution.
Employer contributions to a SIMPLE-IRA or a SEP-IRA
cannot be recharacterized as contributions to any other IRA.
The recharacterization request may not be modified or
revoked after it has been processed.
Tax-reporting information: The IRS refers to the IRA from
which you are recharacterizing as the “First IRA,” and
the IRA to which you are recharacterizing as the “Second
IRA.” A recharacterized contribution will be treated for
federal income tax purposes as having been contributed
to the Second IRA on the same date and for the same
taxable year that the contribution was initially made to
the First IRA. The taxpayer is responsible for reporting all
recharacterization activity on IRS Form 8606, or as required
by the IRS. Please see instructions for 8606 for further
reporting information.
Recharacterizations generally must be completed by the
federal income tax filing deadline (including extensions) for
the year for which the contribution was made to the first IRA.
Reconversion Limit: You may not convert, recharacterize,
and then reconvert to a Roth IRA within the same tax year. If
you convert and subsequently recharacterize, you may not
reconvert back to a Roth IRA before the later of:
The taxable year following the taxable year in which the
amount was first converted to a Roth IRA; OR
The end of the 30-day period beginning on the day you
recharacterized from the Roth IRA to the non-Roth IRA.
Complete a separate form for each transaction being
recharacterized.
For information about reconversions and recharacterizations,
or to discuss your specific situation, please consult your tax
advisor. Additional information about limits and deadlines
may also be found on the IRS Web site, irs.gov.
All open Good-Til-Cancelled (GTC) orders should be
cancelled prior to submitting this request. If a request
is received that requires transferring a position with an
open order, the order will be cancelled. It will be your
responsibility to replace the order on the receiving IRA
account, if applicable.
