Question:

Kathy, who is single and 25, inherited $7,000 from her grandmother. A coworker has suggested that Kathy open an Individual Retirement Account with the $7,000.

Write a letter to Kathy explaining whether her friend's advice is correct. To the extent her friend's information is inaccurate, provide Kathy with the correct tax treatment and explain how different facts may lead to different tax treatments.
