Inherited IRAs Overview
 
Inherited IRAs are specifically designed for IRA beneficiaries. They offer an opportunity to continue tax-deferred growth of inherited IRA assets.
While all Inherited IRAs are subject to annual IRS minimum required distribution (MRD) rules, IRS regulations provide a great opportunity for IRA inheritors by generally lowering annual MRD requirements. These regulations enable continued investment in an Inherited IRA without the impact of immediate taxes, so that you can maximize your inherited assets.
Timeframe
To preserve all options, inheritors must make certain decisions within nine months of the date of death of the original account owner.
