File Your Representative Payee Report. The SSA requires that a representative payee file an annual accounting called the Representative Payee Report. This report details what you, as the representative payee, have done with the beneficiary's funds during the previous year.
You can roll over an inherited qualified annuity. This type of annuity resides in an individual retirement account or employer plan. A nonspouse beneficiary has limited options regarding how to roll over the annuity and when taxes are due.
You cannot roll the money into an IRA in your own name. If you decide to cash out, two bad things happen: (1) You'll owe income taxes, if it's a traditional IRA. (2) You will lose the glorious, multiyear (even multi-decade) tax shelter that an inherited IRA can provide.
