There are no tax penalties. However, your transferring custodian may charge a transfer fee. Alto does not charge such fees.

Many crypto IRA solutions require investing through an IRA-owned LLC, which results in a minimum $800 Annual Franchise tax for California residents. The Alto CryptoIRA eliminates the need for—and high costs associated with—IRA-owned LLCs.

‍Alto is dedicated to providing straightforward pricing. There are no monthly fees or account minimums as you’ll find with many crypto IRAs. All you pay is a 1% trade fee when you buy or sell crypto, which includes Coinbase fees. HODLers rejoice!
