Do I have to take RMDs from an inherited retirement account?
Yes, most beneficiaries must take required minimum distributions from inherited retirement accounts, but the rules depend on your relationship to the deceased and when they died. Surviving spouses have more flexible options, while non-spouse beneficiaries typically must withdraw all funds within 10 years. The timing of these distributions affects your tax burden and how much you can pass to your own beneficiaries.
