Converting Self directed traditional IRA held in Real Estate ( multifamily syndication) to Roth IRA
Please outline what documentation is needed to establish FMV so that I can convert Multifamily syndication investments to Roth. Thank you
How is Rental Income generated from Rental properties held within an IRA treated? Is it part of the IRA? Or can it be treated as ordinary income, taxed, and used to fund another investment? IRA holder is 35 years old.
Yes, all rental income is deposited to the 401k or IRA and all related expenses (repairs, insurance, prop taxes, legal, etc) must be paid out of the account. Therefore, the IRA must also hold sufficient cash to meet these expenses. The value of the IRA can grow from both operating income and appreciation of the property. However, the major tax advantage of depreciation is lost with properties in an IRA. All distributions out of the IRA are taxed at full ordinary income rates.

Your self directed IRA custodian is responsible for reporting the year end value of IRA assets they hold, as well as the 1099R value for distributions. They may ask your help in supplying certain information possibly including annual rental receipts since rental receipts are often a component of a property’s value. Every so often a formal appraisal will probably be required as well. Any related costs such as appraisals must be paid for out of the IRA, preferably before the conversion.
