Advanta IRA Administration Hosts CPE Class for Certified Public Accountants with Self-Directed IRAs as a Hot Topic
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 12, 2013 -- Investors utilize the services of CPAs to ensure proper filing of income tax returns. Investors also seek appropriate investment advice from these professionals, as well as information regarding how potential investments may affect their taxation rate.
"It is critical for CPAs to know and understand the aspects of their clients’ investment portfolios," says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Administration. In the current economy, investors are becoming more strategic in planning for successful financial futures. Savvy investors are taking full advantage of the investment opportunities self-directed IRAs offer. Clients of Advanta IRA make investments in real estate, mortgage notes, precious metals, businesses, foreign exchange and other alternative investments self-directed IRAs allow.
Advanta IRA is a self-directed IRA account administrator, but does not give investment advice. However, CPAs can and do provide advice for their clients. "Learning about self-directed IRAs increases the knowledge CPAs have regarding tax-free and tax-deferred investment income available to their clients," says Callahan. In these ever changing economic times, more investors are looking for better ways to build wealth in their retirement accounts. Self-directing may be the answer for many investors.
One focus of Advanta IRA is to educate professionals in a variety of fields. Relative to CPAs this two-hour course includes the following topics:
• How learning about self-directed accounts enables you to become a valuable resource for clients
• How to educate existing clients who may be interested in self-direction and who are already investing in alternative investments
• What types of accounts can be self-directed
• What investments are made in a self-directed IRA and the rules regarding tax-deferred and tax-free investment income
• What types of investments in IRAs can incur Unrelated Business Income Tax and how tax professionals can help clients with this relatively unknown tax
• Our role, as well as the roles of the client and the tax professional throughout the investment process
