An Overview of IRA Options

First option: If it is an individual IRA, then our company will set up an IRA with a custodian who allows a self-directed IRA. We will then coordinate the funding of the new self-directed account. The taxpayer directs the custodian to have the IRA acquire the next investment.

Second option: IRA-LLC (Derived from legal tax case in 1996: Swanson v. Commissioner.) The IRA-LLC is a unique Limited Liability Company created with very specific language meeting the Internal Revenue Service and Department of Labor’s stringent requirements to ensure the integrity of your IRA.

After the IRA-LLC is created the custodian is directed to fund a new bank account of which the LLC is the owner. The IRA’s beneficiary can be the manager of the LLC and the signer on the account. It is possible to simply write a check or use the bank account’s debit card when acquiring the next investment.

With an IRA Advantage checkbook structure you are truly in control of your retirement account.
