While doing your research into self-directed IRA’s you have may have also discovered something called a Checkbook IRA or IRA / LLC. This strategy involves a self-directed IRA that purchases 100% ownership of a Limited Liability Company. The IRA owner then becomes the manager of the LLC and the money at the custodian is transferred into the checking account of the LLC.
Some folks mistakenly assume that having their IRA money inside the LLC allows them to do as they please. This is absolutely NOT the case – since the IRA owns the LLC, all laws governing an IRA apply to the LLC. WARNING: Failure to understand or adhere to these laws may result in the IRA owner committing a “prohibited transaction” which results in the IRA being fully distributed, paying the resulting income taxes and any assessed penalties.
