Hello all,

My mom recently passed away and I am the sole beneficiary on all of her assets. I am wondering how to setup and record few scenarios.

1. She had a traditional IRA account that she was receiving disbursements from. I worked with the broker and just rolled all of the accounts into my name. So, now I have this money that was given to me and I didn't pay into. I have to continue receiving disbursements from this account every year. Because this is a traditional IRA, I have to pay taxes on this income. Because of this, should I set the IRA account as some sort of equity that I can get income from and pay taxes on? I tried setting it up as an investment asset, but I couldn't then make an income transaction. I think I need to reflect this as income due to the taxes being taken out. Otherwise it would just be a transfer between asset accounts. How should I set this up?

2. As I am closing out some of her accounts (utilities, insurance, cable, etc) she is being issued a refund. Which is being paid to me. Should I just list this as "other income". Technically it is a refund, but I did not make the original expense to be refunded for

Thanks!

Dave Gilmore
