Inheriting an IRA
My Dad died last year and he had an IRA that was given to my Mom as she was the beneficiary. Prior to his death, he took a distribution from it. She received a 1099R form for this distribution. It lists the gross distribution and the taxable amount (same). When I am answering the TurboTax questions, I enter the information from the 1099R and I get to the question about Did She Inherit This IRA. I answered Yes. Then the question comes up about where the funds went (into another IRA or not). She transferred the IRA into another IRA in her name. When I get to the Summary page of the income, it lists the distribution as non-taxable and I don't think this is correct. What question am I answering incorrectly? (As a side note, he took a distribution in 2015 too and in the Summary page of the income in the year over year comparison, this is listed under taxable).
