Stretch IRA

Definition

A stretch IRA was a tax planning strategy that allowed non-spouse beneficiaries to take distributions from an inherited IRA over their own life expectancy, potentially deferring taxes for decades. The SECURE Act of 2019 eliminated this strategy for most non-spouse beneficiaries, replacing it with the 10-Year Rule.
