There are many benefits of an LLC, including pass-through taxation, asset protection, limited compliance rules, and less rigid management structures.
Many have heard about LLCs concerning the process of starting a business. However, investors can also invest in LLCs as part of their retirement plan with a self-directed IRA.
With this option, LLCs can be used to truly diversify investments through a variety of investment avenues, including:
The IRS prohibits investing in collectibles, like artwork or jewelry, S-corporations, and life insurance.
Nevertheless, many people prefer investing in LLCs because it allows them to direct their money toward an industry or field they are passionate about. This flexibility can be a real selling point for certain investors.
The books and records of the LLC, owned by an IRA, must be kept in accordance with IRS regulations for IRAs. Don't ignore the IRS' prohibited transaction rules!
