IRS Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. (Form 1099-R), must be issued for distributions taken from IRAs and other retirement accounts. Form 1099-R is issued to the IRS and the account owner who is responsible for including the distribution in income.
In this case, the Form 1099-R for the amount must be issued under your Social Security number, and must be added to your income for the year in which the distribution occurs.
Please note: You must withdraw your uncle’s RMD by the end of the year. If you miss this deadline, you will owe the IRS an excess accumulation penalty of 50% of the amount not withdrawn (by the deadline).
