Hi elmo039,
For inherited retirement accounts, the beneficiary will typically receive a 1099-R form. If the inherited account was a pre-tax/traditional account, the distributions will generally be considered ordinary income to the beneficiary, and are taxable. If there are tax withholdings on the distribution, they will be indicated on the 1099-R and will join the beneficiary's other tax withholdings from other sources.
This TurboTax Help article discusses these scenarios: Is an inherited IRA or retirement plan taxable?
