Inherited IRA from a partner

Have the RMD rules been updated for a beneficiary to treat their inherited IRA from their partner the same as any other spouse would treat their inherited IRA?

ex.

Joseph inherited his partner, Ken’s IRA on 5/8/2017, does he follow the same rules as any other spouse would?



Yes, as long as he is legally considered a spouse, not a domestic partner or civil union. 

would you happen to have documentation or the IRS ruling on this?
