Start a conversation with an IRA Counselor to discover which account may be best for you: https://www.trustetc.com/lp/consultation/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=considertion_education&utm_term=UBIT Unrelated business income tax (UBIT) is a special tax that an IRA has to pay when the IRA borrows money to finance a real estate acquisition. The percentage of property financed determines the percentage of profits from that acquisition, or net profit, that is taxable. The first $1,000 in gains is not subject to UBIT. Proceeds above the first $1,000 are filed and the IRA pays the applicable tax. Equity Trust Company is a directed custodian and does not provide tax, legal or investment advice.
