Tax Treatment of 401(k) Beneficiary

Craig Full time employment: Posting here. Join Date: Dec 2004 Posts: 714	How is someone taxed if they inherit a 401(k) account as a beneficiary, following the death of the 401(k) participant? Note this would be a non-spouse, significant other beneciary. Any planning suggestions? [I'll also be consulting a tax CPA / attorney, but was curious about knowledge here.] Thanks.
