Frequently Asked Questions
Can the government seize your gold?
Your gold is yours and the government cannot take it. It is yours because you worked hard for it. It belongs entirely to you. But, this rule is not universal. Your gold could be taken away if your crime was fraud against federal government. You can also lose precious metals if you owe taxes. However, even if you don't pay your taxes, your gold can be kept as property of the United States Government.
Can I purchase gold with my self directed IRA?
While you can purchase gold from your self-directed IRA (or any other brokerage firm), you must first open a brokerage account such as TD Ameritrade. If you already have a retirement account, funds can be transferred to it.
The IRS allows individuals up to $5.500 annually ($6,500 if you are married and filing jointly). This can be contributed to a traditional IRA. Individuals can contribute up to $1,000 annually ($2,000 if married and filing jointly) directly to a Roth IRA.
If you do decide to invest in gold, you'll want to consider purchasing physical bullion rather than investing in futures contracts. Futures contracts can be described as financial instruments that are determined by the gold price. You can speculate on future prices, but not own the metal. But, physical bullion is real bars of gold or silver that you can hold in one's hand.
How is gold taxed in an IRA?
The fair market value of gold sold is the basis for tax. If you buy gold, there are no taxes. It's not considered income. If you sell it later, you'll have a taxable gain if the price goes up.
Gold can be used as collateral for loans. Lenders seek to get the best return when you borrow against your assets. In the case of gold, this usually means selling it. This is not always possible. They might keep it. They might decide to sell it. The bottom line is that you could lose potential profit in any case.
To avoid losing money, only lend against gold if you intend to use it for collateral. Otherwise, it's better to leave it alone.
