It could be either one. There are primarily two types of IRAs, one being the traditional IRA and the newer Roth IRA. Easiest first in that the Roth is never tax deductible but the investment income is never taxed not just tax deferred. A traditional IRA can be deductible if you qualify based on whether or not you have a retirement plan at work and based on your income. You will complete a schedule to determine if you qualify for tax deductible status. You always want to keep up with whether or not you deducted the amount paid as you will need this when it comes time to pay tax on it when you take it out.

If you inherit a roth IRA and a regular IRA - are they taxable?
Distributions from a traditional ("regular") IRA are taxable unless part of the distribution comes from a non-deductible contribution or a rollover of after-tax money. So you will pay tax when you take money out of the IRA, unless you can establish that the deceased person had after-tax money in the IRA. You may want to approach the executor of the estate to see if the tax records of the deceased reflect any after-tax (non-deductible) contributions. If you are concerned with what happens to your own IRA after you die, consider making your tax records available so that your beneficiary can easily find them. Distributions from an inherited Roth IRA are not taxable if the Roth IRA has been in existence for at least 5 years at the time the distribution is taken. If the IRA has not been in existence for 5 years, only distributions of the earnings are taxable. Distributions of contributions are not taxable. And the regular ordering rules apply: Any distributions are considered to have come from contributions before earnings, so even if you inherit a relatively new Roth IRA, you can try to stretch out the distributions so that you take out the earnings after 5 years. Again, you would need tax records of the deceased to determine whether the IRA is at least 5 years old and if it is less than five years old to determine how much is contributions and how much is earnings.
