The IRA Owner’s Post-RMD Death

What if the IRA owner dies on or after his or her RBD and there is no designated beneficiary? Then the 5-year rule does not apply. Instead, as I just stated above, the IRA will be paid out over the IRA owner’s remaining single life expectancy based on the IRA owner’s age in the year of death—less one for each future year’s distribution. And if the IRA owner had not yet taken a year-of-death distribution (or took just a portion of it), then the beneficiary must take it (or the rest of it) and pay the associated tax.

Interestingly enough, for some who die in their seventies, this can now produce a post-death payout period exceeding 10 years. That means your non-designated beneficiary might get a better deal than your noneligible designated beneficiary who can only stretch disbursements for 10 years, max. Under this payout period, the NDB must take an amount equal to the RMD each year, but the beneficiary can take more in any given year if he or she so desires.
