Successor Beneficiary

T-IRA owner, 90, died in 2017

Adult son inherited & subsequently died in 2020

Surviving spouse (successor beneficiary) inherited

Question

Is the surviving spouse included in the IRS RMD waiver from 2021-2024?



Yes, the successor beneficiary RMD under the 10 year rule receives the RMD waiver per IRS Notice 2024-35, which defines “specified RMDs” eligible for waiver. The successor beneficiary must begin annual RMDs in 2025 and drain the account by the end of 2030.
