Successor Beneficiary IRA RMD Calc question
Hello! Our client, Carol, owned an IRA. She died post RBD (age 79) in 2017. Her spouse, Rupert, was 7 years older so he created an inherited IRA to minimize the RMD.
Rupert died in Feb 2020 at age 86. His beneficiary is his son, Garrett, who doesn’t qualify as a eligible designated bene so we plan to empty the account by 12/31/2030.
My question is: Should the annual RMDs on this successor bene IRA be calculated on Rupert’s life expectancy or Garrett’s life expectancy?
