What are the IRS Requirements for Precious Metals IRAs?
Precious Metals Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) rules are subject to change, so it is essential to consult the most recent IRS publications or a tax professional for the latest information. That said, as of publication time, here are a few general requirements:
Eligible Metals
The IRS specifies which types of precious metals are eligible for inclusion in a Precious Metals IRA. These typically include gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins or bars that meet purity standards. For example, gold must be at least 99.5% pure, and silver must be at least 99.9% pure.
Qualified Custodian
To establish and maintain a Precious Metals IRA, you must use a qualified custodian or trustee the IRS approves. These custodians are typically financial institutions that specialize in handling self-directed IRAs.
Tax Reporting
Precious Metals IRAs are subject to reporting requirements on your tax returns. Any distributions or conversions to cash must be reported, and Form 1099-R will be issued by the custodian for tax reporting purposes.
You will also want to consider contribution limits, prohibited transactions, how the silver will be stored, rollover requirements, and minimum distributions needed as you set up your IRA. Remember that you cannot set up a Precious Metal IRA on your own, contact our IRA department and discuss the details of your personal investment strategy with your IRA Custodian or financial adviser.
