Thanks for asking your question! I'm sorry to hear about your tax issue and I'm going to try my best to help you understand or resolve it.

I would love to assist you today with your question. However, I am going to give you an honest answer that is both accurate, yet may not be what you want to hear. Please rate this answer in light of the circumstance; that is, I have no personal control over the tax code, and that I have a duty to answer your question both honestly and accurately.

You cannot roll your Rabbi trust into another tax deferred vehicle. A Rabbi Trust is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan, and money in a Rabbi Trust is not eligible to be rolled over into qualified retirement plans such as other 403(b) plans or IRAs. IRS regulations have made distributions from the RPB Rabbi Trust more complicated over the past few years, as Congress enacted laws that limit the flexibility of when Rabbi Trust balances can be distributed. The laws were a reaction to abuses in Rabbi Trust plans resulting from the Enron, WorldCom and other financial scandals. The laws have had the unintended consequence of affecting participants in all pension plans with Rabbi Trust provisions no matter what the situation.

Both types of Rabbi Trust plans, the pre- and post-2005 versions, are not eligible for rollover into qualified pension plans including traditional IRAs.

While the Rabbi Trust funds are invested by the RPB and held in trust by the RPB, the actual account (contributions and earnings) is technically an asset of the congregation (or company) that contributed the funds. Congregations (and companies), however, do not have access to the money. The only time that Rabbi Trust funds could be accessed is if the congregation or company becomes legally insolvent. Under those circumstances, assets in the Rabbi Trust would be available to the claims of creditors of the congregation that contributed the funds.
