01IRA services: the account, transaction and reporting obligation
IRA services require identifying the account type, owner, transaction and applicable tax conditions before processing a request. A traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP arrangement and SIMPLE arrangement do not have identical contribution, distribution or reporting rules. A custodial agreement also differs from a trust agreement. The service professional should distinguish the document establishing an account from an investment recommendation and from the tax result of a later transaction.
