It’s more than possible and perfectly legal to rollover a 401(k) to a gold IRA without incurring early withdrawal penalties or triggering tax consequences. But it’s important to perform the 401(k) rollover the right way in order to avoid paying taxes and other fees. Contact your 401(k) administrator to begin the rollover process. The process typically takes a few weeks to a few months to finish, so get started right away to begin investing in gold as soon as possible.
