Oil is going to $40. again. (I couldn’t pass that up even as the local economy here will go up in smoke)
a self directed Ira in phiz is not any more visible than other transactions. The reporting process just states how much was invested. If I had an Ira again, I would be the custodian, have possession, and file the stupid form. A Roth ira may be even better. In years passed, I assisted people rolling over conventional ira’s to Roth ira’s and assisted with the reporting requirements. I am probably outdated but I know one thing for sure; there has never been a tax law passed that didn’t have loopholes for those who took the time to find them.
