The Secure Act was signed into law on December 20, 2019, by President Donald Trump. This new law ends the availability for beneficiaries of inherited IRAs to stretch the tax-deferred and/or tax-free growth of the assets within it over the beneficiaries’ life-time.
Under the new law, non-spouse beneficiaries will have to withdraw all the funds in the inherited IRA within 10 years from the death of the account holder. It applies to IRAs inherited after December 31, 2019.
An exception to the new 10-year rule is for disabled and minor children.
