Because of the Secure Act, for the 2024 tax year did the IRS waive the penalty for failing to take a RMD from an Inherited IRA?

    If you are subject to the 10-year rule, yes, IRS Notice 2024-35 waived the penalty for taking an RMD from an inherited IRA.  If you are not subject to the 10-year rule, the penalty for failing to take an RMD from an inherited IRA has not been waived.

    Are Trusts subject to the 10 Year Rule as long as the Beneficiaries are mentioned in the Beneficiary section of the Trust document? Thanks!

    To be subject to the 10-year rule, the trust must be qualified for look-through:
