Section 408A(d) of the Internal Revenue Service Code and 1.408A-5 of the regulations allow taxpayers to re-characterize an individual retirement account (IRA) contribution made to one type of IRA as having been made to another type of IRA. They can do so by making a trustee-to-trustee of the IRA contribution, including earnings, to another IRA type. This re-characterization must be executed on or prior to the date prescribed by law, including extensions, for filing the federal income tax return for the year the contribution was made.

D. 9142, under Section 408(q), provides requirements relating to deemed IRAs that may be included in qualified employer plans, which are plans described in Sections 401(a), 403(a), 403(b), and governmental plans under Section 457(b). The regulations also amend Section 408(a) with regard to the requirements under Section 408(a) for non-bank trustees for deemed IRAs. Temporary and proposed regulations under Section 408(a) provide that the Commissioner may, in his discretion, allow governmental entities to act as qualified non-bank trustees for deemed IRAs which are part of the entities' qualified employer plan within the meaning of Section 408(q).
