No. When performed correctly, a rollover or transfer of assets into a Precious Metals IRA takes place with no taxes or penalties.

Types of retirement accounts eligible for rollover or transfer into a Precious Metals IRA include 401(k), 403(b), 457, Pensions and TSP accounts. You can even roll over funds from a Roth retirement account into a Roth Precious Metals IRA, or perform a Roth conversion when rolling over from a 401(k) or similar account into a Roth Precious Metals IRA.

Unlike mutual funds, the fees for your Precious Metals IRA are often charged as one flat fee per year, rather than as a percentage of your assets. That means that the more precious metals you own, the lower your fees are as a percentage of assets; the less precious metals you own, the higher your fees are as a percentage of assets. Ask your Goldco Specialist about current promotions as Goldco may reimburse you for these annual fees.

While your metals are owned by your IRA, they are securely stored in a depository. Once you are eligible to begin taking distributions at age 59 ½, you can choose to take your distributions either as a cash payment or in the form of precious metals.
