FAQ
(updated Dec. 10, 2024) You must take your first required minimum distribution for the year in which you reach age 73. However, you can delay taking the first RMD until April 1 of the following year. If you reach age 73 in 2024, you must take your first RMD by April 1, 2025, and the second RMD by Dec. 31, 2025.
Generally, if you withdraw funds from your IRA before reaching the age of 59 ½, you will not only be taxed at your ordinary income rate but also incur a 10% early withdrawal penalty. This stringent measure is implemented by the IRS to discourage the use of these funds for purposes other than retirement.
You generally have to start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, or retirement plan account when you reach age 73. You're not required to take withdrawals from Roth IRAs, or from Designated Roth accounts in a 401(k) or 403(b) plan while the account owner is alive.
Early Withdrawal Penalties for Traditional IRAs You can receive distributions from your traditional IRA before age 59 1/2 without paying the 10% early withdrawal penalty. To do so, one of these exceptions must apply: You have unreimbursed medical expenses that are more than 7.5% of your AGI.
Exceptions to the 10% additional tax apply to an early distribution from a traditional or Roth IRA that is: Not in excess of your unreimbursed medical expenses that are more than a certain percentage of your adjusted gross income.
