The rules surrounding Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from inherited retirement accounts have always been complex. After the Setting Every Community Up for Retirement Enhancement (SECURE) Act of 2019 enacted sweeping changes, the rules were made all the more complicated.  One of the most impactful changes was the elimination of the “stretch” provision for inheritances which allowed most beneficiaries to take small amounts out of the account(s) annually based on their own life expectancy. Under the new rules, many inheritances that occur after January 1, 2020 will be subject to a new 10-year rule.
