Some precious-metals bullion dealers recently have been advertising “home storage” as a legal and beneficial option for storing bullion that may be invested in an individual retirement account (IRA).
The “home storage” concept may conflict with the laws that allow for tax-advantaged IRA investments.
The Industry Council for Tangible Assets has produced a white paper which explains why the “home storage” concept may conflict with the laws that allow for tax-advantaged IRA investments. The purpose of the paper is to try and make it as simple as possible to understand.
