I have a unique situation with an inherited IRA from a sibling that passed a few years ago.

But couldn't all of the active income be put in a SEP-IRA, thus sheltering it from taxes??

I've seen a description of a "Checkbook IRA" structure where a single IRA or a group of IRAs own a special purpose LLC that invests in whatever.

I have an s-corp PMC for my properties just to have a little earned income and be able to contribute to an IRA and a defined benefit pension or solo 401 if I want it.
