Disqualified Persons
In addition to the investments above which an IRA account is not allowed to make, there are also certain people and entities with whom IRAs are not allowed to interact. Here is a list of the individuals and organizations who are deemed ‘Disqualified’ by the IRS:
The IRA owner or the spouse of the owner
The IRA owner’s lineal descendants and ascendants
An entity with combined ownership greater than 50% by a disqualified person(s)
A 10% owner, officer, director or highly compensated employee of such entity
A fiduciary of the IRA or person providing services to the IRA
Here are some examples of self-directed IRA investments that would be considered ‘Prohibited’ by the IRS:
Investing in a home that you – or any of your lineal descendants/ascendants – plan to live in right now.
Loaning money to your Father, Mother, son, daughter, etc.
Personally guaranteeing a mortgage for your IRA (if you want to use leverage in your IRA, you must use a non-recourse loan)
Paying yourself from proceeds generated from the IRA’s investments
Disqualified parties cannot personally benefit from your IRA’s investments, nor can they provide benefits directly to the IRA (i.e. making capital improvements on a rental property). If you are uncertain whether or not you are violating the self-directed IRA rules, and potentially committing a prohibited transaction, talk to your custodian and/or a qualified professional before making the investment.
