New Trump Tax Plan Creating Strong Demand for Self-Directed IRA Cryptocurrency Mining Investors, According to IRA Financial Group
NEW YORK (PRWEB) February 28, 2018 -- IRA Financial Group, the leading provider of self-directed IRA LLC and Solo 401(k) Plans, has seen an increase in demand from investors looking to use their self-directed IRA to invest in cryptocurrency IRA mining activities. As per IRS Notice 2014-21, cryptocurrency mining activity triggers ordinary income or business income if performed through an entity. Accordingly, if one uses a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) Plan to invest in a cryptocurrency mining operation, the income generated could be subject to the unrelated business taxable income tax (UBIT), which can go as high as 37% in 2018. However, under the new tax plan, an investor can have her self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) plan invest in a C corporation and use that C corporation to block the application of the UBIT tax and reduce the liability from 37% to 21%. “The Trump tax law reduction in the C corporation tax to 21% has created an opportunity for self-directed IRA investors to mine cryptocurrencies at a reduced tax rate,” stated Adam Bergman, President of the IRA Financial Group.
Cryptocurrency mining is the process by which transactions are verified and added to the block chain. Anyone with access to the internet and suitable hardware can participate in mining. The mining process involves compiling recent transactions into blocks and trying to solve a computationally difficult mathematical solution. The miner who solves the mathematical solution gets to place the next block on the block chain and claim the rewards, which are typically new releases crypto coins. The business of mining has become very attractive to many cryptocurrency investors.
According to Mr. Bergman, because cryptocurrency mining is so passive in nature, much like buying stocks or mutual funds, self-directed IRA and Solo 401(k) plan investors should be able to do so without triggering the IRS prohibited transaction rules pursuant to IRC 4975. However, the application of the UBTI tax could make it tax inefficient, which is why the C corporation blocker strategy has become so much more appealing after the passage of the Trump tax plan in December 2017.
