Do It Yourself IRA LLC Kits Pop Up Online - Can You Spell Audit?
by Daniel Cordoba, CEA
In today's world of flip that house, change your curb appeal, sell it yourself why not be your own self-directed IRA attorney and do it all yourself? After all, it can't be that hard to create an IRA LLC! Don't worry about how you look in an orange jump suit or if just a social security check is good enough. Let's look at the evidence her are two good reasons why you might consider using a Self-directed IRA advisor.
1) The operating agreement which is one of the key components may not meet the scrutiny of an IRS auditor.
2) There is no where to go to for support.
3) At least half of the custodians claimed to accept the IRA LLC will not.
This maybe true in the Hollywood studio setting but is it wise to place your retirement in the hands of a website without an identity or support? The author of the oldest DIY version of the IRA LLC out there has used a Wyoming LLC to hide their identity, and a fulfillment center to deliver the documents. You might say to yourself why is that a problem? Let's say you were about to move from Texas to Nevada and you wanted a DIY version to execute after the move. The system would send you the version for Texas because of the purchase information on the order and there is no option for selecting a state. I know I tried it.
You are now the owner of the wrong documents for the wrong state. What if a procedural change needs to be effected or perhaps you wanted to add a contingency manager to the LLC? What support is available? None, there is no way to reach the author. How about the local attorney? Not likely, they would have to investigate the effect of the changes as it relates to the tax code. There goes your savings and it still may not be correct. Now all of your carefully laid plans of saving money of been thwarted. Professional help is now looking less expensive!
Need help down the line? If the originator is incognito how do you keep up with the tax code changes favorable or unfavorable?
Recently a read a blog entry from one of the big investment sites. This particular investor thought our price and that of our competitors was to high. So off to the library he went and returned to the proclaiming he had found the secret sauce, his back could hardly tolerate another congratulatory slap. The problem, he was only half right in his conclusion. It is my opinion that he spent the same effort on finding a good investment he would have received a greater return on investment. Hopefully the not-quite-there LLC will not bite him.
