Get The Grantor Named Above Is Establishing A Roth Individual Retirement Account (Roth IRA) Under

This publication discusses contributions to individual retirement arrangements (IRAs). An IRA is a personal savings plan that gives you tax advantages for setting aside money for retirement. For information about distributions (including rollovers) from an IRA, see Pub. 590-B.

If you inherit an IRA and take money out of it, you'll pay income taxes on it. If the withdrawal is big enough to lift your income into a higher bracket, you may owe more taxes on the rest of your income as well. Inherited IRAs do qualify for some special treatment, however.

A Roth IRA can be established with any bank, insurance company, or other person authorized in ance with § 1.408–2(e) to serve as a trustee with respect to IRAs. The document establishing the Roth IRA must clearly designate the IRA as a Roth IRA, and this designation cannot be changed at a later date.

Contributions to a Roth IRA aren't deductible (and you don't report the contributions on your tax return), but qualified distributions or distributions that are a return of contributions aren't subject to tax.

The following information in Publication 590-A is new for 2023 reporting: IRA contribution limit increased. Beginning in 2023, the IRA contribution limit will increase to $6,500 ($7,500 for individuals age 50 or older) from $6,000 ($7,000 for individuals age 50 or older).

But there's now a 10-year withdrawal rule for certain heirs, meaning everything must be withdrawn by the 10th year after the original account owner's death. The rule applies to accounts inherited by so-called "non-eligible designated beneficiaries" on Jan. 1, 2020, or later.

Publication 590 explains that a SIMPLE IRA is similar to a 401(k) plan in that an employer deducts contributions from employees' paychecks and deposits them directly into the retirement account. The employer also has to make matching contributions to the plan for the benefit of the employee.

A Roth IRA can be a good savings option for those who expect to be in a higher tax bracket in the future, making tax-free withdrawals even more advantageous.
