What Are the Different Types of Precious Metals IRAs?

There are several different types of precious metals IRAs available, depending on the structure and eligibility criteria. Here are the four main types: 1. Traditional Precious Metals IRA: This type of IRA allows you to make contributions with pre-tax dollars, which may offer tax benefits. The contributions and earnings in the account grow on a tax-deferred basis. When you withdraw funds during retirement, they are subject to ordinary income tax. 2. Roth Precious Metals IRA: A Roth IRA requires contributions to be made with after-tax dollars. While you don't receive immediate tax benefits, the contributions and earnings within the account grow tax-free. Qualified withdrawals made during retirement are tax-free. 3. SEP Precious Metals IRA: A SEP IRA allows self-employed individuals and small business owners to contribute to their own retirement plans or on behalf of their employees. Contributions are made by the employer directly into the SEP IRA accounts, and the same tax rules as traditional IRAs apply. 4. SIMPLE Precious Metals IRA: A SIMPLE IRA is available to small businesses with fewer than 100 employees. It allows both employers and employees to make contributions. Employer contributions are mandatory, while employees can contribute up to a certain percentage of their salary. The contributions and earnings in a SIMPLE IRA grow on a tax-deferred basis until retirement.
