give you a hard time for having done the right thing and saved.

A Google search (Because I forgot what I learned (!) and the rules had probably changed anyway) revealed a couple of pertinent articles. It looks like the short answer to your question is "no", there is no limit.

I was looking at transfer from one 401K to another and the only thing they Steelrolled Aug 2020 #13

I think for Qualified Charitable Deductions, it HAS TO BE a direct transfer progree Aug 2020 #14

I think that the charitable organization would know how it works question everything Aug 2020 #15
