What are the best ways to avoid prohibited transactions in a Self-Directed IRA? A Self-Directed IRA administration firm recently posted the answers.

ASHEVILLE, NC, UNITED STATES, January 5, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- It might be one of the most important aspects of retirement accounts, yet many retirement investors don’t know what they are. That’s according to a new post at American IRA, where the Self-Directed IRA administration firm recently took to its blog to explain prohibited transactions within an IRA—what they are, how investors can understand them, and most importantly, how investors can avoid them.

In the post, American IRA divided it up into two essential tips for investors to better understand the boundaries of Self-Directed IRAs—and any retirement account. For example, it is not possible for investors to invest in collectibles within an IRA. Says the post: “But because these are not easy to valuate, they make poor retirement investments, which is why the IRS prohibits collectibles like these.”

Another transaction to avoid is “investing” in life insurance. In fact, this is not a style of investing in the literal sense, which is why the IRS would not allow life insurance policies within an IRA. Any such policy would have to be held personally by the investor themselves.

American IRA also pointed out that a good rule of thumb is to keep personal investments and IRA investments separate—which, after all is part of the point of the IRA in the first place.

In the second tip, American IRA explained that one of the best ways to avoid prohibited transactions is to work with a great Self-Directed IRA administration firm. For example, American IRA regularly posts content on its blog and its website that explains the limits and the possibilities within a Self-Directed IRA. This education is vital to making sure that investors know their boundaries when investing within a Self-Directed IRA—especially considering how much more freedom is possible when investing in this way.
