Buying Silver was the easy part. Selling it without triggering a massive tax bill is the hard part. Did you know the IRS classifies Gold and Silver as “Collectibles,” taxing them higher than stocks?
In this episode, we investigate the confusing world of precious metals taxation, the “Reportable Transaction” limits that trigger a form to the IRS, and the specific strategies billionaires use to legally pay zero tax on their bullion gains.
📂 IN THIS EPISODE WE UNCOVER:
○ The “Collectibles” Rule: Why long-term gains on silver are taxed at 28%, while stocks are taxed at 15% or 20%.
○ The 1099-B Limit: Which sales trigger an automatic report to the IRS (1,000 oz bars) and which ones remain private (American Eagles).
○ The “Roth IRA” Loophole: How to hold physical metal in a retirement account and sell it completely tax-free.
○ The “State Tax” Map: Which states charge sales tax when you buy, and which states charge income tax when you sell.
○ The Playbook: Why “Sovereign Coins” offer better privacy than generic bars, and how to structure your exit to minimize the hit.

By the way, here is a blog I have written about FHA Case Number and how it works. Hopefully, this helps.

What is an FHA Case Number on FHA Home Loans
FHA Case Number is a unique 10-digit number assigned to a loan through Case Number Assignment on FHA Connection. The loan # is a case

FHA case numbers track FHA loan applications to prevent duplicate loans or fraud. Your lender can’t order a new appraisal until HUD releases the prior case number tied to you and the old property.[gcaforums]
What Is an FHA Case Number?
It’s a unique 10-digit identifier (like a loan’s ID tag) assigned by HUD when your lender requests it via the FHA Connection system, typically early in the process for purchases or refinances. The first three digits show the state and HUD office; the rest are a serial number plus check digit. This number links you (the borrower), the lender, and the specific property to ensure everything stays organized under FHA rules.delawaremortgageloans+2
Why It Causes Delays
FHA requires one active case number per borrower at a time to stop people from shopping multiple FHA loans simultaneously, which could signal fraud or over-leveraging. Your old case number from the failed deal is still “open” in HUD’s system (CHUMS), blocking a new one for the current house. Appraisals can’t proceed without it, as the appraiser needs the new case number to tie their report to FHA standards.gcaforums+1
Release Process
Your lender (Gustan Cho Associates) must log into FHA Connection to either:
-
Cancel the old case: If no appraisal was done or fees paid, this frees it up quickly (often same day).
-
Transfer/update: If needed, they shift it to the new property, but since the first deal collapsed, cancellation is likely.hud+1
Cases auto-expire after 6 months of inactivity, but manual release is faster. Angie Torres is correct—until released, no new case or appraisal order.[gcaforums]
Timeline and Tips
Expect 1-3 business days for release once requested, though HUD processing runs 8 a.m.-8 p.m. ET weekdays. Share this with sellers: It’s a standard FHA safeguard, not a red flag on your approval. If delayed over a week, ask your lender for the FHA Connection screenshot showing status.hud+1
