Inherited IRA

Definition

An inherited IRA is a retirement account that a beneficiary receives after the original account owner dies. The tax rules governing withdrawals differ significantly from a standard IRA, and since the SECURE Act of 2019, most non-spouse beneficiaries must fully distribute the account within 10 years of inheritance.
