Do It Yourself IRA LLC Kits Pop Up Online - Can You Spell Audit?

If you can change your own oil why not create your own IRA LLC from a kit? Just think of all the money you will save. Of course, the consequences of doing it wrong may never enter the mind of the do-it-yourself advocate after all, a penny saved may be a dollar audited. So let's look at the two elephants in the room.

1) The operating agreements and instructions are either flawed or incomplete possibly placing the investor in harms way during an audit.

2) So if you have a problem where do you go for help?

3) Most of the custodians listed as acceptable recipients will not accept the submitted format.

While this may work in a DIY television studio, is it sound judgment to place your hard earned retirement in the hands of a website with no identity or support structure? The owner of the oldest DYI version is Wyoming registered LLC with no disclosure as to who the members are with a fulfillment center that does all the work. You might ask your self why is that a problem? What if you were moving from one state to another and your present residence is Texas and new residence is Nevada. If you ordered the DIY version you would receive a Texas operating agreement without asking you which state you preferred. I can testify to that since I bought one.

You are now the owner of the wrong documents for the wrong state. What if a procedural change needs to be effected or perhaps you wanted to add a contingency manager to the LLC? What support is available? None, there is no way to reach the author. How about the local attorney? Not likely, they would have to investigate the effect of the changes as it relates to the tax code. There goes your savings and it still may not be correct. Now all of your carefully laid plans of saving money of been thwarted. Professional help is now looking less expensive!

Ongoing support? If the producer is unwilling to disclose a contact how do you keep up with changes in the tax code?

I read a blog in one of the large investor sites about an investor who felt our price was too high and the same for our competitors. So he did some research and got some of the answers right. He then described to his colleagues how he cracked the code on this mysterious product. Backslapping was thunderous, the problem is he only had half of his facts straight. It seemed to me that if he had spent that same energy on finding a good investment deal he would have made a much higher return on investment. After all the partially correct LLC may come back to bite him.
