The IRS Gave Us A Gift (Or Did They?)

In today’s episode, we’re going to discuss the ongoing confusion surrounding inherited IRAs and Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs). The SECURE Act introduced a 10-year rule for withdrawing inherited IRA funds, replacing the old stretch IRA rules that allowed beneficiaries to spread distributions over their lifetime. However, the IRS has yet to finalize the regulations on whether beneficiaries need to take annual RMDs if the original account owner had already started them.
