Investing in a Gold IRA
What is a Gold IRA Investment?
Most IRAs consist of paper assets whereas a precious metals IRA affords you the ability to buy physical metal and have it delivered to and stored with an independent IRA custodian that you select.
What is a Gold IRA Rollover?
If you have one or more IRA accounts or movable funds in an employer retirement plan, you can transfer some or all of those assets into a Gold IRA account. A transfer occurs when IRA funds are moved at your request directly from one IRA to another, without you taking control or custody of the funds. A rollover, such as a gold IRA rollover, takes place when a distribution from an employer retirement plan is made directly to your gold IRA trustee/custodian by the plan administrator.

Gold IRA Rules
Anyone who has earned income, or is the spouse of a wage earner, is eligible to open a precious metals IRA, and there is no limit to how many IRA accounts an individual may have. The maximum yearly contribution to an individual's IRAs is currently $6,000 ($7,000 for those 50 years or older), or 100% of earned income, whichever is less. However, there is no maximum dollar amount on transfers or rollovers from an existing IRA account to a precious metals IRA account. Consult with a tax specialist for specific IRS rules and IRA investment advice.
