Hello, My wife's mother passed away in 2018. We inherited some funds and have 3 1099-R forms. Because these are inheritances, do we pay tax on them?

We have 3 1099-R documents from inheritance.  The total is 11,115 and we had some income tax withheld before the distribution. 


Do I pay taxes on an inherited IRA?

You must report the inherited retirement income as it is taxable income.  Whether you pay tax on the inherited retirement income depends on your overall income, deductions, and credits.
