The Internal Revenue Service recently made a significant change to the rules governing inherited individual retirement accounts (IRAs). The new rules, which took effect on January 1, 2020, affect how beneficiaries of inherited IRAs can access their accounts.

Under the old rules, beneficiaries of inherited IRAs could withdraw the entire balance of the account immediately. This was known as the “stretch” option, and it allowed beneficiaries to spread out the distributions from the account over their own life expectancy, thus reducing their tax liability.

Under the new rules, the “stretch” option is no longer available. Beneficiaries are now required to withdraw the entire balance of the account within 10 years of the original owner’s death. This means that the beneficiary must take out the entire balance of the account within 10 years, regardless of their own life expectancy.

The new rules are intended to prevent individuals from taking advantage of the “stretch” option to reduce their tax liability. However, the new rules could have a significant impact on the beneficiaries of inherited IRAs, as they will be required to take out the entire balance of the account within 10 years, regardless of their own life expectancy.

In addition, the new rules could also have an impact on the estate planning process. Individuals who had planned to use the “stretch” option to pass on their IRA assets to their beneficiaries may need to reconsider their plans in light of the new rules.

The new rules are an important reminder that individuals should review their estate plans regularly to ensure that their plans are up to date. Individuals should also consult with a qualified financial advisor or tax professional to ensure that their estate plans are in compliance with the new rules.

    My inherited IRA was in calendar year 2022. Since the IRS doesn't have a complete ruling on this, doesn't this just get grandfathered to the old rules?

    My financial advisor forgot RMD in 2021 tax year . Figured it out if get penalty happy to pay and get a cheaper fiduciary and save .

    Im 41 and just lost my father April 29 2022. I completed my father's RMD before Dec 31 2022 and it is with my understanding that I have until Dec 31 2023 to take my first RMD.
    My main question:
    I was told by my brokerage firm that I can transfer existing stock /fund positions from inherited IRA to my taxable retail account to satisy RMDS. The brokerage firm said that the value of the stock position would be counted as income at the time of transfer and the cost basis on the position would be readjusted to the value of the position at the time of transfer. The Secure Act doesnt encourage deferred growth so I just want to verify this is correct. I have the account set up as a dividend portfolio in which I can take monthly payments that would exceed the annual RMD while the principal fluctuates in value but I dont want an expensive tax bill in year 10. Or should I just take monthly payments and empty the account out in years 5 to 10? I work on commission which doesnt help my tax situation. Some years I make more than others as a 10-99 independent contracter

    What if the original (deceased) IRA owner, say age 75,did NOT take RMDs or did not in their last year of health struggles?

  5. Doug Smith

    Do the new rules in 2022-53 create a way to settle an inherited IRA from before the "Secure act" that never had an RMD taken without the 50% penalty? What am I missing?

  6. Aztekin

    This is the "tax the rich" program !!! You know …smart working people !! LOL The ultra rich dont pay taxes and dont have iras …lol ..

  7. Paul Hi

    What is the age basis for the RMD? The decedent's would be age?

  8. J K

    if there no penalty for not taking the rmd in 2021-22 why would you take it? what can they do about that?

  9. Charles Byrne

    Ah yes the government wants to keep the average American without wealth by taxing them, their widows and heirs out of prosperity. Thank you congress and the president for "taxing the rich". It is a shame because the money Fedzilla collects will go towards wasteful spending and will still be just a drop in the bucket to our 31 trillion dollars of debt whose interest will soon outpace the some of the programs.

  10. Terry Adams

    Mine will soon all be in a ROTH, so no RMDs during my lifetime (for now, at least). 1. When I die, will my kids have to start RMDs? 2. Will they have to take the funds out of my ROTH proportionally for each year (10% each year for 10 years), or can they wait and take it all out in the tenth year after my death?

  11. Hoss

    Not really a big deal you should be taking money out every year so in year 10 you don’t get smoked in taxes

  12. Lisa B

    We need to stop vilifying the IRS. They merely (try to) enforce the laws and rules made by Congress.

  13. Cheri Gossen

    So my mother at age 85 inherited an IRA from my brother. He was 58. Does she then just need to deplete the IRA within 10 years? That was my assumption and she has not taken any money out so far.

  14. Big Mike

    Is it possible that all this can be avoided by just taking everything out the first year it's inherited?

  15. P H

    How does it work for an older inherited IRA that I have been taking distribution since 2012? Do i still get to stretch it out?

  16. Larry Hobbs

    I HATE the government. Especially the IRS. They steal to much money from hard working citizens. Hell God only ask for 10%.

  17. Jacob Side

    government just screwing the middle class even more

  18. Victor Tirado

    What if you pass away before the required rmds..what happens to money…

  19. Phin Al

    Yay! I love that the Government can step in to help families squander family wealth! That's how we'll always have the poor; and that's how the largesse will never experience the American Dream.
