I live in Georgia and had asked back in January about estate taxes (I am the executor) - which I don't have to file because the estate isn't large enough. I had also asked as one of the beneficiaries if I have to claim any of the money I receive on my taxes and was told no that inheritance money is not taxable. I have received a 1099R from the bank where my grandmother's IRA (not RothIRA) was held. It shows the whole amount that I received in the box for taxable amount. Also I received a 1099INT from her former employer where she had a small life insurance policy in my name as beneficiary. It shows that I have to claim the interest. My question is do I have to claim both of these things on my taxes since they are in my name and social security number? Are IRA's and life insurance policies something that beneficiaries have to claim on their federal and state taxes once they inherit them even though inheritance money is supposedly not taxable.
Thanks for the help.
