How does 2020 affect the 10 yr rule?
If i have a client who inherited an IRA from someone who passed in 2020, how many years do they have to fully distribute the account? 10? 11? 12? The bene ira owner is in their 50’s and a non spouse.
it appears by the statement, “a designated beneficiary is required to liquidate the account by the end of the 10th year following the year of death of the IRA owner (this is known as the 10-year rule)” it is more like 11 years from date of death? and then I just want to be sure I understand how 2020 affects that as well…

If the beneficiary is an eligible beneficiary for the stretch (eg not more than 10 years younger than owner), then they can stretch using RMD Table I (single life). If not eligible and the 10 year rule therefore applies, the inherited IRA will not have annual RMDs, but the account must be drained by 12/31/2030.
