Ongoing Compliance

- Forge Trust Company, or the IRA custodian that you select going forward will take care of the annual reporting with the IRS by issuing annual Form 5498.
- You will need to provide to the IRA custodian on an annual basis the fair market value of the LLC so that they can report the value on Form 5498.
- Any contributions that you make on an annual basis which will be based on your W-2 wages, or if you later want to transfer more IRAs for former employer plans to the self-directed IRA, will require those funds to be first deposited into the self-directed IRA with the IRA custodian. The IRA custodian would then wire the funds to the IRA LLC bank account.
- All the income generated from the IRA LLC investments must flow back to the IRA LLC bank account.
- If you want to take a distribution of IRA LLC funds, the funds first must flow back to the IRA custodian so that they can perform the required distribution reporting from the IRA.
- UBIT or UDFI may be owed from certain IRA LLC investments and must be paid directly from the self-directed IRA.
