Decendant names his trust the beneficiary of his IRA. Is that considered a distribution and taxable to the trust?

    Not until the trust receives a distribution.

    "Decendant"

    Has the person died?

    Decedent = they have died, and their account transfers to the trust. The Trustee requests a distribution to close the account, and sends the funds to beneficiaries. Or, has the account put into Inherited IRA accounts, one for each beneficiary = no distribution has been made. Or? What else has happened?

    Descendant = offspring of the decedent.
