[net.invest] individually controlled IRA with stocks

kim@emory.UUCP (Kim Wallen {Psychology}) (04/03/84)

I am interested in using some stocks I purchased last year as an 
individual IRA.  Is there a form I mustr submit to the IRS to have
these stocks qualify for the IRA investment deduction.  
Can someone point me to a good source of info concerning what
limits there are on having an individually controlled IRA using
stocks?

Thanks

You can not transfer stocks that were obtained outside an IRA to an IRA.
I wanted to do that for some stocks I obtained from a stock plan, but was
told that the stocks must be sold first, the money transfered to the IRA
the the stocks could be bought again.  I asked around to a few IRAs and was
told the same thing.
