Explore the Complexities of an Inherited IRA: Eye-Opening Report Released

PRESS RELEASE
Published June 14, 2024

Sword and Shield published a new article, "Navigating the Complexities of an Inherited IRA." The report highlights the challenges and strategic considerations for beneficiaries managing an inherited IRA under the SECURE Act. It is primarily aimed at those with substantial inheritances who must plan for tax-efficient strategies to manage and utilize inherited funds. Individuals in their peak earning years planning for retirement and other interested individuals can view the full article at SwordandShieldEstatePlanning/Blog

The article includes several interesting pieces of information; one, in particular, is how the IRS has announced a waiver of required minimum distributions (RMDs) for 2024 beneficiaries of inherited IRAs subject to the 10-year rule, offering significant tax planning flexibility. This development, highlighted by Sword and Shield Estate Planning, allows inheritors to strategically plan their distributions, potentially minimizing tax liabilities and optimizing their financial outcomes over the designated period. This information should be highly relevant for those with substantial inheritances who must plan for tax-efficient strategies to manage and utilize their funds. Understanding this information can help designated individuals avoid unnecessary large lump-sum distributions that could push them into higher tax brackets.

One of the most important pieces of information the article tries to communicate is how The SECURE Act includes provisions offering particular beneficiaries of inherited IRA exemptions from the stringent 10-year distribution rule. The best example of this is perhaps found in the following extract:

'Certain beneficiaries, referred to as "eligible designated beneficiaries," are exempt from the 10-year rule. These include A surviving spouse, a disabled or chronically ill beneficiary, a child of the deceased account owner who is still a minor, and an individual not more than ten years younger than the account owner.'
