are inherited roth ira distributions taxable
As tax-deferred retirement plan, distributions from an inherited traditional IRA is fully taxable, even for a beneficiary. The only way a portion of the distribution won't be taxed is if the decedent made nondeductible contributions to the traditional IRA, meaning she put money in and didn't claim a deduction.nheriting an individual retirement account (IRA) can be both a blessing and a curse: A blessing because of the obvious financial windfall, but a curse because distributions from inherited IRAs are taxed in the same way they would have been taxable to the decedent.
