If your IRA invests in master limited partnerships, private equity funds, hedge funds, or real estate with debt financing, it could be exposed to UBIT’s punishing tax rates—up to 37% on income over $15,651.

Don’t let surprise taxes take a bite out of your retirement. Find out how UBIT works, when it applies, and what you can do to avoid it.
