I inherited a Roth IRA and know I have to take required minimum distributions. Can I also make contributions to the account?

Only a surviving spouse who rolls over an inherited Roth IRA can treat the account as his/her own and make contributions to it. A non-spouse beneficiary who wants to contribute to a Roth IRA must set up a separate account.
