What is a precious metals IRA?

An IRA is a type of retirement account structured to help you save for retirement. IRAs are most typically offered in two forms: a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA.

Most IRAs, whether structured as traditional or Roth IRAs, will primarily (or exclusively) hold paper assets, such as cash, stocks, exchange-traded funds, and/or bonds.

A precious metal-backed IRA, often called a gold IRA due to gold’s popularity as an asset in this form of retirement account, holds physical precious metals, typically in bullion bar or coin form, in custody for the account’s owner.

Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are all eligible for inclusion in a precious metals IRA.

You can create a precious metals or gold IRA either by creating a new IRA account or by transferring or converting an existing eligible retirement account into a precious metals IRA.

This may involve exchanging some or all of the existing assets in your account(s) for physical gold and/or other precious metals.

Whatever your goal, Rosland Capital can provide metals to help you achieve it.

What's the difference between a traditional and a Roth IRA?

Traditional and Roth IRAs, regardless of what type of assets they hold, have certain key differences, based on the tax benefits and associated legal restrictions of each account type.

A traditional IRA allows you to add and hold assets tax-free until retirement, deferring your taxes until you need to withdraw assets from your account.

You can use a traditional IRA to reduce your tax burden in pre-retirement years, as there are many ways to add assets to these accounts before paying taxes on them.

When you withdraw or distribute assets from a traditional IRA, you’ll pay taxes on the investment and any growth in its value based on your income in the year(s) you make a withdrawal. Since withdrawals are taxed as income in the year of withdrawal, you may maintain a lower tax burden if you have lower taxable income in retirement.

A Roth IRA is a post-tax account. Anything added to this account will be taxed when you earn it (that is, you will not get a tax deduction for your contributions to your Roth IRA), and as a result, your tax burden won't be lessened through Roth IRA contributions during your working years.

However, generally withdrawals and qualified distributions from a Roth IRA account are considered tax-free. This can provide a significant benefit if your assets have grown substantially in value, as you won't have to pay taxes on any gains if your withdrawals happen on the proper schedule.

We can't provide you with any tax advice, but a qualified tax professional should be able to help you devise an IRA structure that will work best for your retirement goals and the assets you intend to hold in your IRAs, whether precious metals or otherwise.
