I have been taking rmd from my ira for 5 years. Do my beneficiaries pay more taxes than I would if I withdrew more before I died?

That depends on their other income, deductions credits, and their tax bracket, compared to your income and tax bracket. There is no one size fits all answer.

@vssco the answer depends on your tax bracket and your children's expected tax bracket if they inherited the remainder of your IRA.

As stated by others, it is not a one-size-fits all answer. Every one's financial situation is different
