Moving cash to an IRA with uDirect is as easy as completing a Transfer or Rollover form. What about moving non-cash assets to an IRA? The same forms are needed and there are a few extra steps.
What needs to happen?
For an IRA asset transfer, uDirect needs to review and approve a copy of the original signed investment documents. Complete one Asset Transfer ID Form for each of your non-cash assets. Contact us to receive the form and discuss your transfer plans.
Additionally, we need the latest statement from the retirement account being transferred.
Performing an IRA asset transfer of a note? We will need a copy of the note, and if it is a secured loan, the deed of trust.
Reviewing a Private Placement, LLC or Syndication to transfer requires an Operating and Subscription Agreement. Please provide these.
Moving private stock, tax liens or precious metals, requires a purchase agreement or invoice.
Transferring an IRA-Owned LLC requires the following:
- LLC Operating Agreement
- Copy of SS4 for the entity
- Screen shot from state’s Secretary of State showing entity is in good standing
- 1065 partnership return for the past tax year for the entity.
Whichever non-cash asset you wish to transfer, retitle that asset in the new IRA account name. This is a self-directed IRA and as a result, you would complete this step after the asset is moved to us.
Exceptions
Most non-cash assets can be transferred to us, but there are some items we will not accept.
- A non-performing asset
- A foreign based asset
- An asset that was not titled correctly
If you have an IRA owned LLC, the “Checkbook IRA”, and it is holding real estate, or an asset we would not take, it is still acceptable. We will need to have approved the LLC’s Operating Agreement, and a few related items, referenced earlier. Keep in mind you are not moving real estate or any LLC-owned non-cash asset to us in this case.
To discuss performing an IRA asset transfer to us from a different custodian, we are happy to set up a consultation. If you have other Self-Directed IRA / Solo 401k questions, please contact us at 866-402-2781 or email us at info@uDirectIRA.com.
Because uDirect is not a tax or legal advisor, please contact your own tax or legal professional with any such questions.
