American IRA Discusses Who Is a Disqualified Person in a Self-Directed IRA

Just what or who is a disqualified person in the context of a Self-Directed IRA? The answer, according to American IRA of Asheville, NC, can be a bit complicated.

The Self-Directed IRA, according to a recent post at the American IRA blog, is a powerful tax-protected tool for building retirement wealth. However, there are certain parties relating to the holder of a Self-Directed IRA who, "if they do engage in prohibited transactions with your Self-Directed IRA," notes the post, could mean the account "[loses] its favored tax-status." Be alert to the latest news.

This means that someone using the Self-Directed IRA in an improper way could potentially lose the privileges that make the IRA so beneficial to use to begin with.

As the post notes, there are a number of ways that a person could be a disqualified person. For example, the holder of the Self-Directed IRA—its owner—would be a disqualified person who would not be able to benefit directly from the Self-Directed IRA until retirement. That means that someone who owns real estate within a Self-Directed IRA would not be able to maintain that real estate for personal use. Other disqualified persons include spouses, family members such as children and grandchildren, entities owned by a disqualified person, and the like.

"It's important that people understand their limits," said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. "The Self-Directed IRA is a powerful tool for independence with one's financial decisions. But that does not mean total independence. You cannot use these tax-protected benefits for your own personal gain, but rather the gain of the retirement portfolio that holds the Self-Directed IRA. Otherwise, everyone could go and put their home in their Self-Directed IRA and count it as a tax-protected investment. It does not work that way."
