Description
If you have a self-directed IRA account, you're more than likely already aware of your ability to invest in gold, silver, and other precious metals with your IRA funds. However, as more companies promote the idea of storing gold and silver at home with an IRA LLC (or in a local safe deposit box), we'd like to highlight the differences between storing precious metals at a depository via an IRA provider, and storing precious metals at home with an IRA LLC.
Companies that endorse the idea of home storage don't always paint the whole picture regarding benefits, risks, and rules of at-home storage vs. utilizing a depository that specializes in precious metals storage through the IRA administrator. These companies usually refer you to your own legal counsel for advice on the process endorsed by Chuck Norris.
The following comparison seeks to communicate the relatively unknown details about at-home metals storage that you need to make a fully informed decision about your precious metals IRA.
IRA/LLC program:
- The IRS is notified annually that your IRA owns the LLC.
- Metals investment choices are severely limited. No metals other than US minted Eagles
- The IRA owner must supply the IRA provider with third party confirmation of the value of the LLC including any metals and any cash it owns.
- Insurance for home stored metals is unattainable at any reasonable price.
- Safe Deposit box storage is not insured by the bank and although insurance is available from select vendors, it is expensive. (ex: $100K = $200/yr $50K = $110, $20K = $75)
- The metals still belong to the IRA, not to you, so you must avoid any prohibited transactions with them otherwise your IRA is at risk and allowed or not?. An example of this would be pledging the metals for a personal loan or taking personal ownership of the metals directly.
- Distributions of metals or other assets owned by the LLC must go first to the IRA provider to be reported to the IRS.
- Providing storage space for the LLC assets at your personal residence, in your personal safe
In your personal backyard, may be a prohibited transaction
- The LLC must have a business bank account which may have monthly fees.
- Bank safe deposit boxes cost between $15 to $65 per year or more. Keep in mind that silver eagles take much more space per $.
- IRA provider annual fees for LLCs are often higher than for direct metals ownership.
- Bookkeeping for the LLC must be maintained by the IRA owner.
- Annual reporting and state filing fees may be required for the LLC.
- LLC set up and legal fees are required.
- If the IRS asserts that a prohibited transaction occurred, the burden of proof is on the taxpayer to ensure that the IRA holder did not receive a personal benefit. In tax court you are presumed guilty until you prove otherwise.
- Personally-held metals are likely subject to a higher level of due diligence from buyers as there is no documentation of "chain of possession" ensuring that the metals have not been tampered with and may reduce the resale value of some metals.

Cette publication illustrée de nombreuses planches montre à quel point les frères Adam étaient sûrs de leur succès.drawing center viewing program Ils ne craignaient pas d'être imités. Au contraire, ils le souhaitaient presque, révélant ainsi la conscience qu'ils avaient d'avoir créé un style original. Ce que l'on retient d'ailleurs de leur œuvre est avant tout le décor intérieur et le mobilier qu'ils purent réaliser dans de nombreuses résidences de l'aristocratie anglaise, à Londres ou en province (Syon House, 1762 ; Osterley Park, Kenwood, Kedleston, 1765 ; Newby Hall, 1767 ; Saltram House, 1768, par exemple). La renommée de Robert Adam fut aidée d'une part par les conseils qu'il reçut du milieu artistique dans lequel il évoluait, d'autre part par l'excellence de ses collaborateurs, Angelica Kauffmann pour la peinture, Matthew Boulton pour les bronzes et, évidemment, Wedgwood pour la céramique. L'œuvre d'architecte des frères Adam a été en partie détruite.
