Colin... howdy!

I was sent to this thread by someone when I asked the following tax question. I had no idea this thread was even around, much less that you seem to be the guru here. Glad to see your stuff. I've read thru a little bit of the stuff here and didn't find this question posted before (but I didn't spend all day looking either...).

I bought some private placement shares (in two different stocks) at $1.00 per share in my IRA and I'm thinking of either rolling them to a ROTH IRA or out of my IRA to a non IRA account (paying the nasty 10% penalty of course). Neither stock is publicly trading yet. I think that by doing this action NOW, before the IPO, will mean I will pay much less in taxes but I want to know the right way to value the shares.

I'm assuming the only way to value them is at the price I paid - $1.00. I mean, if they aren't publicly traded, how could anyone else come up with a valid price valuation?

Thanks for help or suggestions on where to go (to get the right answer).

Mitch
