Once I receive my old 401(k) funds, how long to I have to deposit them into my new precious metals IRA?

In the case of a 401(k) rollover, your funds are generally paid directly to you. Once you have the funds in your possession you have 60 days to transfer them into your new self-directed IRA account. If you do not do so within this 60-day period, you may be required to pay taxes. In order to fully understand these rules, we recommend talking to a tax advisor before transferring any IRA funds.
