Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What exactly does a Gold IRA Custodian do?
A: A Gold IRA Custodian, like Gold IRA Custodians, is an IRS-approved entity that holds and manages assets within a self-directed Individual Retirement Account specifically designated for holding physical precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium). We facilitate the setup, funding, purchasing of compliant metals, secure storage via approved depositories, and ongoing administration, ensuring the account remains compliant with IRS rules.
Q2: Why is a custodian necessary for a gold IRA?
A: A custodian is legally required for any self-directed IRA, including those holding physical precious metals. The IRS mandates that a qualified custodian oversees the account to ensure all transactions and holdings comply with retirement account regulations. Without a custodian, individuals cannot legally hold physical gold or silver within their IRA accounts themselves.
Q3: Can I transfer my existing IRA or 401(k) into a Gold IRA?
A: Yes, typically you can initiate a Gold IRA by performing a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer from your existing IRA or 401(k) directly with Gold IRA Custodians. This method avoids penalties and taxes associated with rolling over funds yourself. We can guide you through the process of arranging this transfer.
Q4: What types of gold and silver are allowed in a Gold IRA?
A: IRS Publication 1116 outlines specific requirements for precious metals eligible for IRA investment. Generally, approved gold must be in the form of certain bullion coins or bars with specific purity standards (typically .995 fine or higher). Approved silver includes specific coins and bars meeting minimum fineness and weight requirements. We only facilitate purchases of compliant, IRS-approved assets.
Q5: How are Gold IRA investments stored?
A: Physical gold and silver purchased for a Gold IRA must be stored in an IRS-approved depository, not with the custodian or the investor personally. Gold IRA Custodians arranges secure storage through professional depositories that specialize in safeguarding retirement assets. This ensures the metals remain segregated from your personal assets and comply with IRS regulations.
