Self-Directed Your Retirement Investments into Partnerships

I would like to take this time to thank you and your team for the exceptional and expedient service during my set up. Kaaren always went above and beyond making sure I was taken care of. When the company was changing the amount for the fund that was needed for the investment, you immediately secured an agreement. Thank you. I hope your company appreciates you as much as I do.*

Purchase or Sell Interests in Limited Partnerships with a Self-Directed IRA

A partnership is a type of unincorporated business organization in which multiple individuals, called general partners, manage the business and are equally liable for the debts of the business.

Other individuals, called limited partners, may invest in the business but are not directly involved in management. Limited partners are liable only to the extent of their investments.

Unlike a limited liability company or a corporation, partners share equal responsibility for the company's profits and losses, and its debts and liabilities.

The partnership itself does not pay income taxes, but each partner has to report their share of business profits or losses on their individual tax return. Estimated tax payments are also necessary for each of the partners for the year in progress.

General Rules Regarding Partnerships in a Self-Directed IRA or Real Estate IRA

Here are some general rules regarding self directed partnership investments in your self-directed individual retirement account or real estate IRA:

  • The partnership agreement must permit an individual retirement account or a qualified plan to be a partner.
  • The partnership must comply with the appropriate state law, have a determinate life, and be assignable.
  • The partnership subscription agreement must be signed by you as having been read and approved, and will be executed by Entrust for your benefit.

Partnerships may be subject to unrelated business income (UBIT) and other taxes. It’s important to consult your tax advisor for proper direction.

The Entrust Learning Center includes tips, articles, rules, and information to regarding investment choices.

When title and /or escrow companies are involved, proper instructions will be provided to them for all documents for your account.
