A Self-Directed Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is identical to an individual retirement account except for the additional investment flexibility provided to the IRA owner. With the additional flexibility in investing, there are also additional rules that must be followed for your self-directed IRA to maintain its tax free or tax deferred status with the IRS.
