Is a withdrawal of money from an inherited IRA taxable income? If so, shouldn't I have received a form from the wealth management company to report it?

I inherited money in an IRA last year and paid the estate taxes.  After the estate was settled, I withdrew some of the money from that inherited IRA to pay some debts, and paid taxes on that withdrawal.  Is the money I withdrew taxable income?  I never received any form from the wealth management company that oversees the IRA to report it to the IRS.

If you withdrew funds from an IRA (inherited or not) you should receive a 1099-R form. The withdrawal will be taxable income, but withheld taxes should help reduce the amount due.

Call the payer and ask about a 1099-R.
