Do You Have to Pay Taxes on a Roth IRA Rollover?

These States Will Tax Your Assets After You’re Dead
If you live in the United States, even death won’t allow you to escape the taxman. The Internal Revenue Services taxes large estates — as of 2017, those valued at $5.49 million or higher — when they’re passed on to the owner’s heirs.

Another six states collect an inheritance tax from your heirs. And two states will actually double-dip, taxing both your estate and the inheritance your loved ones receive when you pass away.
