(2) (a) Effective January 1, 2002, a portion of a distribution may not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion consists of after-tax employee contributions that are not includable in gross income.

(b) The plans described in subsections (2)(a)(ii), (2)(a)(iv), and (2)(a)(v) must separately account for amounts that are transferred and earnings on those amounts, including separately accounting for the portion of the distribution that is includable in gross income and the portion of the distribution that is not includable.
