Retirement tax questions

If you are a non-spouse and inherited a Roth IRA, there would be no RMD. The only requirement would be to liquidate the account within 10 years. 

 

If you inherited a Traditional IRA, RMD would be required. 

You cannot change an inherited Traditional IRA  into a Roth IRA. 

 

Can you clarify your situation? 

What type of IRA did you inherit? 

What type of Inherited IRA do you now own? 

(If only one was/is Roth, how was that changed?) 

 

Are you considered a "Non-spouse" beneficiary, and therefore required to liquidate the account in 10 years?
