So, you’ve inherited an IRA. That’s a big responsibility! But don’t panic, we’re breaking down the basics in this short:

• It’s NOT your IRA anymore. It’s now an inherited IRA, with different rules.

• You have options for distribution. You can take a lump sum, a 5-year rule, or a “stretch” IRA (if eligible), each with tax implications.

• Taxes are due! Inherited IRAs are generally taxable. The type of IRA (Traditional or Roth) affects how.

• Don’t delay. There are deadlines for making decisions. Miss them and you could face penalties!

• Get professional advice. An estate planning attorney and/or financial advisor can help you navigate the complexities and choose the best strategy for your situation.

Inheriting an IRA can be complicated. Do your research and seek expert guidance to protect your inheritance!
