Asked 11/5/2008

Once I transfer my 401k from my old job to an IRA how are future contributions handled?

How is the pre-tax contribution separated from the taxed contribution? I assume I can continue to contribute to the fund I rolled over

Yes you can continue to contribute according to normal IRA rules. Think its 2K/year for an individual and 4K/year if you are married, but you will need to confirm that.
