Inherited IRAs: More Than Just Retirement Accounts

An Inherited IRA—sometimes called a beneficiary IRA—is an account you inherit after the original IRA owner passes away. These accounts come with specific rules and considerations that are often different from traditional or Roth IRAs. Whether you’re inheriting from a parent, spouse, or someone else, how you manage this inheritance can impact your financial future.

Key Topics We Help You to Understand:

Inherited IRA RMD rules (Required Minimum Distributions)
Understanding the 10-year rule and when exceptions may apply
The difference between inheriting a traditional IRA vs. an inherited Roth IRA
Planning around the tax impact of distributions
Reviewing estate documents to align with your broader financial picture

What Makes Inherited IRAs So Complex?

Unlike a typical IRA, an inherited IRA follows different rules, especially post-SECURE Act. One of the important things to understand is how—and when—you must begin taking required minimum distributions. Depending on your relationship to the original account holder, your distribution options and tax consequences may differ.

At Aviance, we help you understand:

When RMDs begin and how they’re calculated
Which tax implications may apply based on your situation
When a Roth conversion could be beneficial
How to avoid common pitfalls, like missed distributions or misnaming beneficiaries

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 10-year rule for inherited IRAs?

Under the SECURE Act, most non-spouse beneficiaries must fully distribute the assets of an inherited IRA by the end of the 10th year following the year of the original owner's death.

What’s the difference between an inherited Roth IRA and a traditional inherited IRA?

An inherited Roth IRA typically offers tax-free distributions subject to certain requirements, while the withdrawals from a traditional inherited IRA will be subject to income tax under most circumstances. The distribution timelines can be similar, but the tax impact differs.

Do I have to take distributions from an inherited IRA?

Yes, in most cases, distributions do need to be taken from an inherited IRA - but the rules depend on who you are (spouse or non-spouse) and when the original account holder passed away.
