Inherited Roth IRA-non-spousal

Quick question, is there an annual requirement to withdraw from an Inherited Roth that is under the 10 year rule? Original owner was taking her RMD from a Traditional IRA but not touching the Roth. Can I leave the Roth untouched for the 10 yrs or must I make an annual non-taxable withdrawal? If there is an annual withdrawal required, is there a chart to use to calculate the required amount? Thanks.



There is no annual distribution required when the 10 year rule applies since the Roth owner is always treated as passing prior to RBD since a Roth has no RBD. You are best served to not take any distributions until the lump sum distribution in year 10 to give the balance a chance to generate tax free gains over that period.



Thank you for the quick response!  I hope you know how much your answers are appreciated by us not so knowledgeable individuals!
