IRA & Gov't Securities


Recommended Posts

Posted

Is it possible to purchase government securities (t-bills, bonds) inside an IRA and have the coupon payments made outside the IRA, without it being considered a (taxable) distribution from the IRA?

Posted

No.

The bonds are held by the IRA, not you. Any coupons must go to the bondholder. Diverting them to you creates a distribution.
