Vanguard recently did this for my wife's Roth IRA. Her's was invested in one fund, and distributed equally to our children.
The children must take distributions to empty their inherited Roth IRA by the end of 2033. At least one child plans on taking the maximum yearly IRA contribution amount and then make a contribution to their own Roth IRA.
It took Vanguard about 3 days to be ready to set up the inherited IRAs.

Genworth LTCI Class Action Settlement
My LTCI is included in a recent class action settlement. My reasons for having the LTCI have gone away earlier this year, so I am selecting a cash payment plus basic paid-up benefits.
In the information about the settlement, there is a section titled Taxes where it states: "Your policy, including any reduced benefits associated with the selection of a settlement option, is intended to be a federally tax qualified long term care insurance contract under Section 7702B(b) of the internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended." I called to ask if I would receive a 1099-B in January 2024.
The CSR spoke to the tax people and then stated, "They only issue 1099's to beneficiaries."
What can I expect?

Re: Move tax deferred retirement from CPC to Fidelity
If your account at CPC is a tax deferred account (IRA, 401k, etc), cost basis does not matter, it is of no importance. Unless you want to cash out the account and claim a loss.
If your account CPC is a taxable investment account then you will need the cost basis at the time you make a sale so you can determine your capital gain or loss. If you purchased your assets since about 2011 and later, when you sell, your broker is to report to you and the IRS your cost basis. However it is still the responsibility of the investor to keep track of their basis.

If your contributions were tax deductible (tax deferred), you will need to pay the income tax when the money is distributed to you. If you have not reached age 59-1/2, an additional 10% penalty is applied. As another poster stated, this is to protect us from ourselves.

Re: Quarterly Taxes Question
You could handle the income tax for your K1 income in several ways:
- Increase your withholding from your wages.
- If you are at least age 59-1/2 take a December distribution from an IRA in the amount of your K1 tax due and have it all withheld for income tax.
- Use the IRS Direct Pay from your bank account: https://www.irs.gov/payments/direct-pay
- Make estimated quarterly payments using form 1040-ES.

Re: Another Generic Medicare / Social Security Question Part 2

- Direct Deposit to her bank account
- Medicare Part B premiums
- Federal Income Tax Withheld
- Medicare Advantage Plan Premiums - Does your wife have a Medicare Advantage Plan that requires a premium?
- Medicare Part D premiums - Does your wife have a Medicare Part D plan?
Some Advantage Plans include the Prescription coverage, some do not. It appears your wife's Advantage Plan does not include prescription coverage.
From what you provided, the math looks good.

Re: Maryland 529 Tax Deduction
Good morning- I know that there is a penalty on an distributed earnings for non-qualified withdrawals. If you only withdraw some of your "base" contributions (not the earnings), is there a penalty related to the MD state tax deduction you took for the contribution?

Re: Marriage and separate accounts - how does it work?
Married for a looong time. Most of the time we were a one income family.
All bank accounts and CCs were/are joint.
Our budget has always included a weekly allowance for each. No strings, no questions.
