ROLL OVER IRA

IF I WANT my grandchildren to be beneficiaries who are minor does my spouse has to waive her right first? if my grandchild becomes 18 while others are still minor what will be rules of distribution of acccount? also who is custodian and what rule they have to follow . my funds are in swab chase and new york life



Your spouse would only have to waive her interest in your IRA if you are in a community property state. Grandchildren who inherit IRAs are subject to the 10 year rule at all ages unless disabled. RMDs in years 1-9 are required if you pass after you are taking RMDs. These rules apply to all custodians.



Thank you. i have changed my residence status to florida. my wife  still keeps indiana state status my grand children in new york does this matter?



No, none of these states are community property states. However, if you file jointly, your IN state tax return might be complex with respect to identifying how much income was IN income.



thank you. 2023 will be first year i became florida resident and my wife continued with indiana status. i waited to take my RMD TILL OCTOBER my florida licence was may 3rd. i get social security and pension we notified both places. most of our income is mine and my wife gets social security. our accountant explained in april to file joint federal and separate state tax returns mine as part year resident and final for indiana to be filed april2024 for 2023 taxes. will this change anything?



are you practicing and do consultation one on one?



  • You may leave your IRA to whomever you want.  Spouses have rights in ERISA plans.
  • Beneficiaries of retirement benefits are only subject to state income tax on the in their home states.
