Inherited IRA – Aggregation Rules

My 28 year old client inherited IRA .  She is considering converting some IRA funds to a ROTH.

Is her inherited IRA included in the aggregation rules?  Is the inherited IRA part of her IRAs in this calculation?



No, inherited IRAs are not part of the balance used to calculate the taxable amount of a conversion from an owned IRA. Therefore the value of inherited IRAs is not to be included on line 6 of Form 8606 unless a distribution is being taken from the inherited IRA. The inherited IRA also cannot be converted by a non spouse beneficiary.
