drop-down broker list
Fidelity Investments uses its National Financial Services affiliate for certain clearing, custody and brokerage services including ACATS transfers. To initiate a full or partial ACATS transfer from a Fidelity account, select National Financial Services (DTCC No 0226) from the drop-down broker list.
Daily, monthly and annual statements are available online via the Client Portal through the Reports/Tax Reports menu option.
Q. What happens if I want to withdraw the funds via check and my address has changed?
A. If your account is eligible to withdraw funds via check (only available for US currency withdrawals by customers with a US mailing address) and your mailing address on record is no longer accurate, you will not be able to change your address online. In this instance, please contact Client Services to inform us of your new address and receive instructions on how to upload a copy of a driver’s license or other acceptable document.
Q. What happens if I want to withdraw the funds electronically and my account does not already have a valid banking instruction on file?
A. If you currently do not have an active banking instruction on file, please log into the Client Portal and add a new instruction using the Transfer & Pay menu option. Note that IBKR reserves the right to verify new instructions via verbal confirmation and/or submission of qualifying documentation. This verification step is intended to protect against unauthorized transfers to a 3rd party.
Activity report. Monthly or annual statements showing movements to document rollovers and conversions and distributions
IRA Transfer from previous broker
I can ACH from bank to IRA account as a max $8000 contribution. It has a contribution type menu, but the only allowed option is “contribution”. No option for “Indirect Rollover”.
