IRA Financial Group Introduces New Bitcoin Self-Directed IRA with Checkbook Control

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 23, 2017

IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed IRA LLC and Solo 401(k) Plans is proud to announce the introduction of the self-directed IRA bitcoin with checkbook control. The bitcoin self-directed IRA LLC structure will allow retirement account investors to purchase bitcoins and generate tax-deferred or tax-free gains. "We are excited to offer our clients with a tax efficient and cost effective way to use retirement funds to buy bitcoins," stated Adam Bergman, a partner with the IRA Financial Group.

On March 25, 2014, the IRS issued Notice 2014-21, which for the first time set forth the IRS position on the taxation of bitcoins. According to the IRS, "Virtual currency is treated as property for U.S. federal tax purposes," the notice said. "General tax principles that apply to property transactions apply to transactions using virtual currency." By treating bitcoins as property and not currency, the IRS is providing a potential boost to investors but it also imposing extensive record-keeping rules--and significant taxes--on its use. With IRA Financial Group's self directed IRA LLC bitcoin solution, traditional IRA or Roth IRA funds can be used to buy bitcoins without tax.

The primary advantage of using a Self Directed IRA LLC to make investments is that all income and gains associated with the IRA investment grow tax-deferred.

The Self-Directed IRA LLC involves the establishment of a limited liability company ("LLC") that is owned by the IRA (care of the IRA custodian) and managed by the IRA holder or any third-party. As manager of the IRA LLC, the IRA owner will have control over the IRA assets to make traditional as well as non-traditional investments, such as real estate.
