Tax-Deferred Growth

Gold IRA Glossary

The feature of traditional retirement accounts where investment gains are not taxed while they stay in the account, with tax due only when money is withdrawn. In a traditional Gold IRA, any increase in your metals' value goes untaxed until distribution, when withdrawals are taxed as ordinary income. Roth accounts work differently, offering tax-free rather than tax-deferred treatment on qualified withdrawals.
