However, like any other retirement account, gold IRAs have rules that investors must follow to ensure compliance with IRS regulations and maximize their benefits. This audiobook will provide a comprehensive overview of the gold IRA rules, highlighting the essential aspects of precious metals IRA accounts. What is a gold IRA? A gold IRA is a type of self directed individual retirement account that allows investors to hold physical gold and other precious metals as part of their retirement savings. Gold IRAs are similar to traditional IRAs, but instead of holding paper assets like stocks and bonds, they hold physical precious metals such as gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.

Narrator: 02:28

Gold IRA rules: Eligible precious metals. The IRS has strict guidelines on the types of precious metals that can be held in a gold IRA. Only specific coins and bars that meet the IRS's fineness requirements can be included in a gold IRA. These include gold, 99.5% purity, 24 karat silver, 99.9% purity, 999.9 fine platinum, ninety nine point ninety nine point five fine palladium, 99.5% purity, 999.5 fine. Examples of eligible gold coins include American Gold Eagle coins, Canadian Gold Maple Leaf coins, and Austrian Gold Philharmonic coins.

Eligible gold bars must be produced by a NYMEX or COMEX approved refiner or assayer and must be marked with the refiner's name, weight, and purity. Custodian requirement: The IRS requires that gold IRAs be held by a custodian or trustee. The custodian is responsible for maintaining the gold IRA and ensuring that it complies with IRS rules. Custodians can be banks, trust companies, or other entities approved by the IRS to act as custodians. Storage requirements: Gold IRAs require that the physical precious metals be stored in an IRS approved depository.

Narrator: 03:42

The depository must be a secure facility designed to protect precious metals from theft, damage, and loss. Depositories typically offer segregated or non segregated storage options. Segregated storage means that your gold is stored separately from other investors' gold, while nonsegregated storage means that your gold is stored in a communal vault with other investors' gold. Contribution limits. The contribution limits for a gold IRA are the same as those for a traditional IRA.

Narrator: 04:12

For 2021, the contribution limit is $6,000 per year for individuals 50 and $7,000 per year for individuals aged 50 or older. Contributions to a gold IRA are tax deductible, up to the annual limit, and earnings in the account grow tax deferred until withdrawal. Withdrawal rules: Gold IRAs are subject to the same withdrawal rules as traditional IRAs. Distributions from a gold IRA are taxed as ordinary income, and withdrawals before age 59 may be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. However, there are several exceptions to the early withdrawal penalty, including distributions for qualified education expenses, first time homebuyer expenses, and unreimbursed medical expenses.

Narrator: 04:59

Rollovers and transfers. Investors can roll over or transfer funds from an existing IRA or four zero one account to a Gold IRA without incurring taxes or penalties. A rollover involves receiving a distribution from the existing account and depositing it into the gold IRA within sixty days, while a transfer involves moving funds directly from one custodian to another without the investor ever taking possession of the funds. Annual audit requirement. Gold IRAs are subject to an annual audit requirement to ensure compliance with IRS rules.
