Most investors and entrepreneurs I know love Roth IRAs because every dollar they make in investment earnings is tax-free.?
But did you know you can increase the tax advantages of your IRA by starting an LLC?
This little-known trick is only available to Self-Directed IRAs (SDIRAs), which are essentially Roth IRAs with greater investor freedom.??
SDIRAs are passively managed by custodians and allow you to invest beyond the stock marketing in assets like real estate, gold, and more.?
However, when you invest your IRA into an LLC, you don’t just get extra tax benefits; you get “checkbook control.”?
This level of control makes investing with a self-directed IRA LLC one of the most autonomous financial avenues ever devised.?
Understanding Checkbook Control
Most traditional retirement accounts have very strict rules in place for what you can and can’t invest.?
Self-directed IRAs largely bypass these concerns, but you are still beholden to your custodian in some ways.
However, when you invest your SDIRA funds in an LLC, you gain full administrative control over the account. This means you get to collect payments, negotiate contracts, and write checks on behalf of the LLC using your retirement funds without ever going through your custodian.?
The third-party custodian is still there to help with reporting and managing rollovers, but you gain full control over your checkbook.
SDIRAs + LLCs = Investor Freedom
Let’s imagine a world where you could invest in whatever asset you wanted and sell that asset without ever going through a third party or paying a dime in taxes.?
This is the power of checkbook control.?
Just by starting an LLC and placing your IRA funds in that business, you get the same control as any business does over its finances.?
And you don’t have to pay capital gains taxes.?
There is truly no other financial account like this.?
The only caveat is that you have to wait until you’re 59? for tax-free withdrawals. But, until that point, you can still pull out all contributions tax-free and allow your earnings to compound over time.??
