Frequently Asked QuestionsQ: Why do I need a Gold IRA Custodian if I want to invest in gold?
A: The IRS has specific rules governing precious metal IRAs. A Gold IRA Custodian is required to act as the administrator (custodian) for the account. They handle the legalities, ensure compliance with IRS regulations, manage the rollover process from other retirement accounts, facilitate the purchase of IRS-approved metals, and arrange secure storage. Without a custodian, it's difficult, if not impossible, to legally establish and maintain a self-directed Gold IRA.
Q: What types of gold and other precious metals are allowed in a Gold IRA?
A: The IRS dictates specific purity standards for metals held in a Gold IRA. For gold, this typically requires .995 fine or higher (.999 fine is also acceptable). Platinum must be .995 fine, and palladium .999 fine. Silver requires .999 fine. The metals must be in the form of certain approved products like bars, bullion coins (with specific minting requirements), or certain types of rounds. We guide you through selecting compliant options.
Q: How does the process of rolling over my existing IRA into a Gold IRA work?
A: The process involves a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer. Your current IRA custodian initiates the transfer of funds or assets directly to our Gold IRA Custodian. We then use those funds to purchase IRS-approved precious metals on your behalf. This direct transfer avoids any tax withholding and ensures the rollover is treated correctly under IRS rules for eligible rollover distributions.
Q: Where is the physical gold stored in my Gold IRA?
A: Your physical precious metals are securely stored in IRS-approved depositories, such as Brink's/Globus or Delaware Depository. These facilities offer high-security, insured storage specifically for retirement assets. We arrange and oversee the storage, providing you with regular account statements reflecting the holdings held by the custodian at the depository.
Q: Can I access my gold within my Gold IRA?
A: Yes, you can access your physical gold, but it involves a withdrawal process. Once you reach age 59½, you can initiate a withdrawal. However, this is treated as a taxable distribution. Alternatively, you can sell some of your metals within the account and transfer the funds to your personal brokerage account, but this is also a taxable event. We provide guidance on the implications and procedures for accessing your assets.
