Inherited IRA RMD

In an inherited IRA for a client who is under 59 1/2, if they take more than the required minimum distribution, will they pay the 10% penalty on the amount over the RMD? 😐



No, there is never a 10% penalty with an Inherited IRA due to the death exception. Any amount including the entire account can be withdrawn without penalty.



Thanks, just confirming. IRS Pub 590.
