Trustee to Trustee Notification

Instructions

You may transfer assets from an IRA account held with another trustee/custodian to an IBKR IRA account. The assets are transferred directly trustee/custodian to trustee/custodian, with no distribution of assets to you. During the transaction process, you will be presented with an IRA Transfer In Authorization form, which you must print out, complete and return to IBKR.
