An inherited IRA—also known as a beneficiary IRA—is an individual retirement account with tax advantages that’s left to one or more beneficiaries when the original owner of an IRA or employer-sponsored retirement plan passes away. Inherited IRAs can be left to anyone, including spouses, relatives, estates, and trusts.
Tax Alert: The SECURE Act has made a number of significant changes to the rules surrounding inherited IRAs. The IRS provides additional guidance.
