Advanta IRA Administration Holds Webinar with Guest Speaker Allen Buckley: Prohibited Transactions in a Self-Directed IRA

Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) June 25, 2015

A growing number of investors are seeking alternative methods to build wealth towards retirement by using self-directed IRAs. Alternative investments permissible in these plans have the potential to boost retirement earnings, sometimes at a faster pace than the traditional stock, bond or mutual fund. Alternative investments include assets such as real estate, private lending, foreign exchange, futures trading, oil and gas options, and much more.

Alternative investments provide the diversity many financial advisors deem necessary to successful retirement portfolios. "The most attractive aspect of self-directed IRAs is that plan owners are able to invest in what they know, understand, and can control--at a risk level these individuals are comfortable taking," says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Administration. "The ability of controlling your own investment choices comes with the responsibility to know and understand prohibited transactions that can cause penalties, taxation, and even disqualification of a self-directed IRA."

The IRS does place some limitations on the investments made within an IRA. For this webinar, Advanta IRA Administration has invited attorney and CPA Allen Buckley to share his thoughts on prohibited transactions. Examples of prohibited transactions include purchasing collectibles or life insurance and transacting with certain family members. Allen has represented clients in front of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on prohibited transactions issues and will share his knowledge on this potentially tricky and dangerous area of IRS law. Allen will also answer question from attendees who are asked to submit their questions in advance so the information can be included during the presentation.

Those who want to learn how to control their own retirement funds using self-directed IRAs are urged to attend this. Knowledge is power, and Advanta IRA is committed to educating investors of all levels on the benefits and risks involved in self-direction.
