joel Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 A government DB pension plan pays an in-service death benefit equal to 3 times annual salary. The beneficiary has been told that the amount is taxable. Is it, therefore, eligible to be rollover to an IRA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol V. Calhoun Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yes, it can be rolled over to an inherited IRA. However, this will not eliminate required minimum distribution requirements, so the beneficiary (if not a spouse) will need either to start taking distributions within one year or to take a complete distribution from the IRA within 5 years.
