J Simmons Posted 55 minutes ago Posted 55 minutes ago Situation: H had an IRA. H died. W survived. She did not rename the IRA into her name as owner. She did not take any MRDs, even for those years she had reached and passed her RBD. W dies. The IRA balance is moved into an "estate account." Then, W dies. Her executor has the funds in the IRA moved to an "estate account" and then, 1/5th each transferred to five new "inherited IRAs", one each for the five children. How do we resolve the failure by W to take MRDs? Were the funds taxable when transferred from the IRA to the estate account (since estates per se cannot be IRA owners)?
