I would think that the cashed out IRA would show up as income *to the estate*. The estate would report it as income and pay taxes. For the one inheriting the post-tax estate, if the amount is less than (3 million IIRC), you don't even need to report your portion of the inheritance for federal tax purposes.

Both my parents passed away a few years ago, and the only thing I have to report is an inherited IRA, which I still recieve a distribution from every year.
