Is an Inherited IRA distribution taxable?

My wife's father deceased. She inherited a portion of the IRA. Is this taxable?

It depends.  In general, she would have to pay the same tax tat he would have- so if it was a Roth IRA it would most likely not be taxable, but if it was a traditional IRA, some or all of it would be taxable.
