Question by Mike201JC: Does transferring a Roth IRA to another institution impact the five year rule for qualified distributions?
If I transfer a Roth IRA from one financial institution to another, will the five year waiting period for tax-free qualified distributions be impacted, or will it still be calculated from the date I first contributed to the IRA at the original institution?

First, I do not need a link to an IRA FAQ that talks about various circumstances governing IRA contributions. Read my question and answer it, do not answer an imaginary generalized IRA question.

I just want to know, do contributions to an SEP IRA by my employer have any impact on my ability to fund a Traditional IRA to the normal limit and deduct my contributions. Assume that if the SEP IRA didn’t exist, I could contribute and deduct the full 4000 this year.
