If a Roth IRA Conversion account owner (over age 59 1/2 & 70 1/2 ) dies during the '5-year post conversion period', does this terminate the 5-year taxation period rule thereby resulting in subsequent distributions to non-spouse beneficiary distributions of conversion amounts free of tax and/or penalties? My understanding is that the remaining portion of the 5-year period applies to the non-spouse beneficiaries. It is also my understanding that, since the deceased Roth IRA Conversion account owner was over 59 1/2 & 70 1/2, there would be no penalties if the non-spouse beneficaries decided to withdraw some or all of the 'converted' amounts during the remainder of the 5-year period or subsequent thereto. Is this correct?
Finally, it is also my understanding that the non-spouse beneficiaries are required to take RMD's only on the 'earnings' from converted IRA amounts. I am correct on this assumption as well?
