Line 4: − The Roth IRA is basically a contract between the taxpayer and a custodian (such as a bank, stock broker or insurance company.) In most cases, the contract is signed as a part of the paperwork in opening the account. Although some bloggers have advocated creating your own corporation to serve as the custodian or to invest in collectables, the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations restrict who can serve as a custodian and what types of assets can be placed in a Roth IRA. A non-bank trustee or custodian must obtain the prior written approval of the IRS before opening Roth IRA or other such accounts, and the IRS publishes a list of approved non-bank trustees or custodians.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.irs.gov/Retirement-Plans/Approved-Nonbank-Trustees-and-Custodians|title=Approved Nonbank Trustees and Custodians|accessdate=March 28, 2016}}</ref>+ − + − , both participant-directed accounts and IRAs '''cannot''' invest in collectibles, such as art, antiques, gems, coins, or alcoholic beverages, and they can invest in certain precious metals only if they meet specific requirements.+ + + + + + + + + + + + + − + − + Line 16:

"A Roth IRA is setup and funded by an individual; however, some employer/group plans can have Roth accounts. A Roth is unique in that it is funded with after-[[tax]] [[dollar]]s, meaning the individual does not deduct the contribution from that year’s [[income tax]]es. He or she pays income taxes on the dollars earned and then contributes to the Roth. The benefit of this account type is that the distributions at retirement age are 100% tax-free. No income tax is claimed from the distribution."<ref>http://survivalblog.com/guest-post-self-directing-your-retirement-sheltering-the-fruits-of-your-labor-by-will-lehr Accessed December 8, 2014</ref>
