Why Inherited Retirement Accounts Are Tax Bombs for Middle Class Heirs

Lucas and Luna unpack the SECURE Act's 10-year rule on inherited IRAs, which can push middle class beneficiaries into higher tax brackets. They walk through a concrete example: a $400,000 inherited traditional IRA that, if emptied too slowly, triggers a $90,000 tax bill for a family earning $80,000 a year. The episode explains the 'stretch IRA' that used to exist, why Congress killed it, and five strategies heirs should consider—from Roth conversions to charitable rollovers—to avoid the trap.
