The Complete Guide To Inheriting An IRA
from That Financial Guy · host Keith Wilson
In this episode I walk through one of the most confusing areas in retirement planning today, the rules for inherited IRA and inherited Roth IRA accounts. I start with the simplest scenario, when a spouse inherits an IRA, and then work step by step into increasingly complex situations including non spouse beneficiaries, the ten year rule, Required Beginning Date considerations, eligible designated beneficiaries, stretch IRA rules for pre 2020 deaths, and how to determine whether the deceased had reached their RMD age. I also break down one of the most misunderstood topics in this area, what happens when someone inherits an IRA that was already inherited once before. I explain how the rules differ depending on whether the original owner died before or after the Secure Act, and when the stretch rule continues versus when the ten year clock applies. The episode also covers trust beneficiaries, see through trust requirements, five year rules, complications with multiple trust beneficiaries, and why a poorly drafted trust can unintentionally accelerate distributions. This episode provides a clear, detailed roadmap to understanding the rules and avoiding costly mistakes.
