No, you will not be permitted to reduce the taxable amount on your 1099R. As far as deducting the inheritance tax paid, if you are over 59 1/2, you are subject to the inheritance tax if the inherited IRA is a traditional IRA. If it is a Roth IRA, you are subject to the inheritance tax regardless of age. These are not tax deductible on the federal or state level.
