IRC Section 408(m)
Gold IRA Glossary
The section of the Internal Revenue Code that governs collectibles in retirement accounts. It generally treats an IRA's purchase of collectibles as a distribution, but carves out exceptions for certain coins and for bullion meeting minimum purity standards, provided the metal is held by the IRA trustee. This section is the legal foundation that makes Gold IRAs possible.
