Gold & Precious Metals Investment Solutions Fit for Your Retirement Needs

Internal Revenue Code 408(m) states that IRS-approved metals and coins must be held “in the physical possession of a trustee described under subsection (a) of this section.” Therefore, you should never store your IRA-owned gold personally.

Generally, a typical, workplace 401(k) will NOT allow for alternative investments, including gold. However, if you are self-employed with a Solo 401(k) and your plan provider allows for it, you CAN invest in IRS-approved metals and coins.

No! All gains associated with the sale of gold and other metals held inside your retirement plan are NOT subject to tax. Taxes are only due once you withdraw the funds (or metals) from the plan. Note: qualified Roth distributions are NEVER taxable!

Yes! If you wish to make an in-kind rollover of gold from one retirement account to another (or distribute the physical metal), you can. Direct rollovers are a tax-free event, while distributions would incur tax based on the price of the metal at the time of withdrawal.

Yes! IRA Financial does not limit your investment options with our self-directed retirement plans. There are only three things you cannot invest in, as per the IRS: life insurance, collectibles, and any transaction involving a disqualified person. Apart from those, you can invest in anything you want with IRA Financial, including real estate, cryptos, private equity and so much more.
