Private Storage IRA

Can an individual privately store their precious metals IRA?

Some individuals inquire about privately storing precious metals held in an IRA — such as at home or in a bank safe deposit box. IRS rules currently require that IRA assets be held by an approved trustee or custodian. The IRS has not explicitly endorsed private or home storage for IRA-owned metals. 

IRS interpretations and tax laws can change, and individuals should consult a qualified tax or legal professional before considering any storage option for IRA assets. Improper storage of IRA assets can result in tax penalties; clients are encouraged to follow current IRS guidelines carefully.

Although the client has the option to go through many different custodians, Monetary Gold does not give recommendations for selecting custodians, and is strictly a precious metals dealer.

Private storage of precious metals is something we do not recommend. Contact your tax and/or legal attorney for more information, as Monetary Gold cannot be held accountable or liable for any decision an individual or client chooses to make regarding storing precious metals privately in a home or whether in a private storage facility. We do not recommend nor advertise private storage of precious metals.
