1. Determine your required minimum distribution (RMD) amount for the current year. This can be calculated using the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table or the Joint Life and Last Survivor Expectancy Table if your spouse is your sole beneficiary.
2. Identify all of your traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, and SIMPLE IRAs that you own. If you have multiple accounts, you can choose to take the RMD from each account individually or aggregate the total amount and withdraw it from a single account.
3. Calculate the RMD for each account by dividing the account balance as of December 31st of the previous year by the distribution period corresponding to your age from the IRS tables.
4. Withdraw the RMD amount from each account by the deadline, which is generally December 31st of the current year. However, for your first RMD, you have until April 1st of the following year.
5. Report the RMD withdrawals on your federal income tax return by using Form 1040 or Form 1040-SR. You should receive a Form 1099-R from each financial institution reporting the total amount of the distributions.
6. Consider using a direct transfer or qualified charitable distribution (QCD) if you don't need the RMD funds for your own expenses. These options can provide tax advantages and allow you to support charitable causes.
7. Keep track of your RMDs and ensure you meet your obligations each year. Failure to take the required distributions can result in significant penalties from the IRS.
