Disqualified Person

Gold IRA Glossary

A person or entity that the tax code bars from transacting with your IRA, including you, your spouse, your ancestors and descendants, the IRA's fiduciaries, and businesses they control. Deals between an IRA and a disqualified person, such as buying metals from your own coin collection, are prohibited transactions. The rules come from IRC Section 4975.
