ATLANTA, GA / ACCESSWIRE / July 12, 2019 / The ability to use leverage within a Self-Directed IRA is enticing to real estate investors with a lot of experience. Especially for those who enjoy the tax protections of an IRA. But as a recent post at American IRA noted, there are new rules changes for UBTI calculations that should affect taxes-and investors need to know about it.
According to the recent post at American IRA, there are four key changes. For example, the post notes, "Prior to January 1st, 2018, investors were allowed to aggregate all their unrelated business income from all sources, as well as all expenses, and then calculate the result based on the whole." However, new rules require investors to calculate unrelated business income and expenses from each investment separately. That includes calculating UBTI separately.
Self-Directed IRA owners who have multiple leveraged properties within an IRA will want to take note, the post says, because it can change things.
"These issues are complicated, and they are often questions for your tax professional," said Jim Hitt at American IRA. "But one thing we are about at American IRA is enhancing clarity. We want people to understand that holding a Self-Directed IRA does not have to sound as scary and complicated as it might first appear. That's why we put together posts like this to help elucidate the changes in the tax code-so investors can understand what changes are coming and plan accordingly."
The post notes that the changes can hurt smaller investors, potentially representing a tax increase on some amounts. That's why investors will want to be wary about the tax implications of any investment-especially using leverage-within a Self-Directed IRA before getting started.
"We think that these tax issues are vital information for anyone considering a Self-Directed IRA," said Jim Hitt. "That's why we work so hard to provide our audience with the information."
