How a 401(k) to Gold IRA Rollover Works
Investors with an eligible 401(k) may be able to move retirement assets into a self-directed IRA without triggering current taxes when the transaction is completed in accordance with applicable rollover rules. Whether funds can be moved depends in part on the retirement plan and the investor's circumstances.
Once the self-directed IRA is established and funded, investors can purchase certain gold and other precious metals that satisfy IRS requirements. IRA-owned precious metals generally must be held by an eligible trustee or custodian rather than personally held by the account owner.
"Investors considering a 401(k) to gold IRA rollover often have questions about eligibility, custodians, storage and how retirement funds are transferred," said a spokesperson for Gold IRA USA. "Our rankings are designed to give consumers a starting point for comparing established companies and conducting their own research."
Gold IRA USA recommends comparing fees, custodians, storage arrangements, precious metals selections, buyback policies and customer support before choosing a provider.
