Do you pay tax on an inheritance?

The Retirement Show: Your Life, Your Money with Scott Sierens

Are you expecting an inheritance, or planning to pass down assets to your loved ones? It's crucial to understand the potential tax implications that come with it. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the world of inheritance taxes.

Key discussion points in this episode:

• If you inherit real estate, the property's value is adjusted to its current market value when you receive it. If you sell it immediately, you may not incur much tax, but holding onto it could lead to tax liability, especially if it appreciates.
• Inheriting a 401(k), IRA, or similar retirement account means you'll likely have to pay income tax on withdrawals.
• Explore the benefits and pitfalls of inheriting Roth IRAs, which can provide tax-free growth if managed correctly.
• Seek advice from financial and tax professionals to make informed decisions about inherited assets and tax planning, as tax laws can change.
