If your spouse gets your IRA, she can roll it over into hers, and not pay any taxes. Someone else will have to take minimum distributions.
You really need to check with a tax expert though.

IRAs are taxed as income, regardless of whether you withdraw the money or your heirs withdraw it....not to mention they are part of your estate and could cause an estate tax problem (yuck).

It depends on your situation. Your best bet is to see a tax advisor, for that question. They'll direct you to IRS publication 590, which is all about IRA's. Or just look up publication 590 from IRS.gov.

Depending on your income bracket, inheritance taxes can be as high as 45%.
