Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)Why do I need a Gold IRA Custodian like yours to set up a gold IRA?
The IRS mandates that traditional and Roth IRAs be held and managed by a financial institution, known as a custodian. A Gold IRA Custodian specializes in handling self-directed IRAs, including those holding physical precious metals. They possess the expertise to ensure your investment complies with IRS rules regarding eligible assets, proper storage, and record-keeping. Without a qualified custodian, attempting to set up and manage a Gold IRA yourself could lead to penalties, taxes, or the disqualification of your IRA.
What exactly does a Gold IRA Custodian do?
A Gold IRA Custodian manages the administrative and custodial functions of your precious metals IRA. This includes opening the account, accepting rollovers or transfers from other retirement plans, selecting IRS-approved metals, arranging for the purchase of the physical metal, directing it to a secure, IRS-approved depository for storage, handling required paperwork, and providing annual statements. They act as the fiduciary overseeing the account.
What types of precious metals can I invest in with my Gold IRA?
Your Gold IRA must hold physical precious metals that are approved by the IRS. Eligible assets typically include certain gold and silver bullion coins (like American Eagle, Canadian Maple Leaf, Krugerrands) and bars meeting specific purity standards (e.g., 0.995 fine gold). Platinum and palladium coins and bars may also be eligible under certain conditions. Gold IRA Custodians will guide you through the specific IRS requirements and approved options.
How do I fund my Gold IRA? Can I transfer funds from my existing 401k or IRA?
A Gold IRA is typically funded through a direct rollover or transfer of funds from another eligible retirement plan, such as a 401(k), 403(b), or traditional/SEP/SEP IRA. This process must be handled correctly to avoid tax implications. Gold IRA Custodians facilitates this transfer directly between the existing plan and your new Gold IRA, ensuring the transaction is seamless and compliant. Direct cash contributions are generally not allowed unless you have a spousal rollover or other specific IRS-allowed methods.
Who owns and stores the physical gold in my Gold IRA?
The physical gold purchased for your Gold IRA legally belongs to you, the account owner. However, due to IRS regulations, it must be stored in a secure, approved depository. Gold IRA Custodians will arrange for the purchased gold to be securely stored at a custodian-approved depository, such as Brinks, Delaware Depository, or others. You have the right to inspect the depository and your holdings periodically, but the metals remain the asset of the IRA until distributions are taken.
