In PLR 201927009, the IRS ruled that an estate could transfer, via trustee-to-trustee transfers, amounts from one IRA to two inherited IRAs to separate the interests of two children. The IRS ruled that
- such transfers do not result in distributions under Code Sec. 408(d)(1)
- such transfers do not result in rollovers under Code Sec. 408(d)(3)
- the inherited IRAs created by means of the trustee-to-trustee transfers, which would be maintained in the name of the two children respectively, would constitute inherited IRAs as such term is defined in Code Sec. 408(d)(3)(C).
