With an Inherited IRA, you need to take annual distributions no matter what age you are when you open the account.
Inherited IRA distribution rules:
- Generally, you must take distributions during your lifetime or within five years after the original account holder passed away.
- With an Inherited Traditional IRA, you'll pay taxes on any distributions you take.
- Rollover, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs become Inherited Traditional IRAs.
- With an Inherited Roth IRA, you don't pay taxes on distributions.
- To evaluate the potential impact an inheritance might have on your overall tax situations, we recommend you also consult your tax advisor.
