Now that you’ve Taken a Breath, and are ready to roll over an IRA you inherited, there are a few important things you must know. Enough that I’ve written a full article, “Inheriting or Bequeathing an IRA” which I suggest you read. I believe the article highlights the importance of properly setting up one’s IRA with named beneficiaries on the account as well as the proper method for those inheriting so as to minimize the tax hit. For a deeper discussion, I recommend the book, “Parlay Your IRA into a Family Fortune” by Ed Slott
