Q

T or F

Because inherited Roth IRAs are tax free, no RMD are required for the account holder.

A

False.

Money must be distributed from the IRA using one of the five allowable methods, with lifetime RMDs being providing the longest payout period.

Note - The IRS apparently does not massive intergenerational, permanent build ups of tax free money.
