Does using a Self-Directed IRA increase my risk of an IRS audit?

Not inherently. However, because Self-Directed IRAs allow for non-traditional assets like real estate and private lending, the IRS may look more closely at compliance issues like prohibited transactions or improper valuation.

To stay compliant, always:

  • Work with a knowledgeable administrator like Mountain West IRA
  • Avoid personal use of IRA-owned assets or other prohibited transactions
  • Keep transactions at arm’s length
  • Consult a CPA or tax advisor before making major moves
