Upon the passing of your parents, the money inside the IRA becomes yours by inheritance. Assuming that it is under the "Death tax" limit, you will pay income tax at your rate upon withdrawal. You are allowed to keep the money inside the IRA to defer taxes, but the rate at which it is withdrawn it subject to the income tax bracket in which you are in, not your parents.

Do you have to claim money on your tax return that you inherited?
If you just inherited a bag full of money, no. If you inherited a tax deferred account like an IRA, 401k, or pension, you may have to pay tax when you take the money out. If you inherited property such as a house or stocks, you may have to pay taxes on the growth in value between the date of death and the date you sold the property. If you inherit US Savings Bonds, you may have to pay tax on the interest when you cash them in, including interest earned during the life of the deceased if the deceased was not declaring the interest annually on his or her taxes.

Is a roth IRA a potentially tax free account?
Nothing is tax free. On a Roth IRA you pay the tax on the money the year you put it into the IRA. You are supposed to be able to withdraw it from the IRA without paying tax on it. In a regular IRA you put the money into an IRA and do not pay tax on it when you put it in. You pay the tax on it when you withdraw it. The idea behind the regular IRA is that you will pay taxes in old age when your income is down. The idea behind the Roth is that the government can get money from you now. You have to decide which you think is better in your particular situation.
Do you pay taxes if you withdraw your IRA early?
Yes, you pay taxes on early withdrawal of a traditional IRA. Additionally, unless you meet special rules, you pay a 10% tax penalty on the amount you withdraw. However, you do not pay taxes on withdrawals from a Roth IRA, since you already paid taxes on the contributions before you added them to the Roth IRA.
