I am a widow who received my husbands IRA as beneficiary. How do I file this?

If you are the beneficiary of your husband's IRA and have not received any distribution from it, there is nothing to report about it on your tax return.

You will only report distributions that you received from this IRA or when you choose to roll it over to your own IRA.
