Retirement CD tax questions

Hi everyone,

I moved a 401k account to a "retirement CD" a while back. I was forced to become a consultant so the 401k account wasn't doing anything.

When my retirement CD matures what can I do with it that does not involve paying tax? I'm assuming if I touch it I'll have to pay tax on it. So my question is;

Any advise is greatly appreciated

Not sure why you did not roll it over in to a IRA, and find better investments vs a CD. as it was pointed out you can convert to another CD or you could possibly roll in into an IRA which will give you more investment options than a plain old CD.

Honestly, you put the money into a CD once you are retired to preserve the capital.

Thanks!

I've actually been looking at IRAs and have been thinking about moving to a traditional IRA. But I had to ask here, since most of you guys know this stuff so well.

either renew the CD for what ever rate at the moment or move the money over to a IRA savings account for liquidity but at the same time you get shit rates. depending on your age i would recommend speaking to an investment adviser and actually finding a way to make that money work for you.
