You can take your annual RMD in a lump sum or piecemeal, perhaps in monthly or quarterly payments. Delaying the RMD until year-end, however, gives your money more time to grow tax-deferred. Either way, be sure to withdraw the total amount by the deadline.

Your Required Minimum Distribution, or RMD, should be reported to you on form 1099-R. You will report this in the program as follows: Federal Section. 1099-R, RRB-1099, RRB-1099-R, SSA-1099.

The custodians that administer your account have to report what your RMDs are. They send that report to you and to the IRS. The IRS knows what you should have taken, and it also knows what you did take out. They're going to catch you.

If you're healthy and don't need RMDs for living expenses, you could use the after-tax portion to fund a life insurance policy. The death benefit of the life insurance could eventually be used to pay the taxes due on the IRA, leaving the full remaining value of the IRA for your loved ones.

You must file form 5329 on your federal tax return for the year that the full RMD was not taken. The IRS can waive part or all of this tax if you can show that any shortfall in the amount of distributions was due to reasonable error and you are taking reasonable steps to remedy the shortfall.

If an IRA owner has an RMD due for 2023, the financial institution that is the trustee, custodian, or issuer maintaining the IRA must file a 2022 Form 5498 (IRA Contribution Information) by May 31, 2023, and indicate by a check in Box 11 that an RMD is required for 2023.

An RMD is the minimum amount of money you must withdraw from a tax-deferred retirement plan and pay ordinary income tax rates. Though the age to begin RMDs was set at 72 through the end of 2022, the SECURE 2.0 Act raised the RMD demarcation age to 73 for those turning 72 in 2023.

This form is to request a participant withdrawal from your retirement account with your employer. Whether you are rolling over the funds or taking a cash payment, you will need to review the Special Tax Notice included at the end of this form.
