Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997
Gold IRA Glossary
The federal law that expanded the precious metals an IRA may hold, adding gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion meeting purity minimums to the earlier allowance for American Eagles. It is the legislation that made the modern Gold IRA possible. The requirements it set, now in IRC Section 408(m), still govern which metals qualify today.
