<prompt> Human: Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to help me with this. My uncle passed away last April and when he passed he left me with an inheritance IRA. The account used to have stock in it, but the company was bought out and all the shares have been turned into cash. I would like to take all the money out and close the account, but Im unsure how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Idk if its relevant information, but the IRA is through Scottrade.  <response>: OP,If you do decide to take a disbursement, please, please, determine your taxes federal and state and penalties NOW and then either pay them immediately to the appropriate places or, if youre disciplined, set aside that money to pay your taxes next year.Do not wind up as one of those people who is surprised when they get a massive tax bill!
