Legal Question in Tax Law in Illinois

IRA taxation after inheritance.

Hi,

When I die, and I will my IRA (a few hundred thousand dollars in a stock fund) to my heirs, will the taxes which I saved through using it then become owed to the IRS by the people I will it to? Thanks.

Tom

Re: IRA taxation after inheritance.

Each beneficiary will be taxed at their own personal rate.
