Eligible Designated Beneficiary (EDB)

Can an EDB use the ten year rule instead of the RMD stretch, and if so, how is this option selected?



Yes, but only if the account owner passed prior to RBD. The beneficiary would advise the IRA custodian before the end of the year following the year of death that they are opting out of EDB treatment and into the 10 year rule. They would then have no annual RMDs until year 10. Note that this election is irrevocable.
