The ABC's of RMD's (Required Minimum Distributions)   

One of the most challenging financial aspects of retirement, especially for people who have been diligent savers throughout their working years, is taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their tax-deferred retirement savings accounts (e.g., 401(k)s/403(b)s, TSP, SEP, Traditional IRA) beginning at age 72. RMDs can have a significant impact on a retiree’s income tax liability. New RMD tables went into effect in 2022. This workshop will discuss basic facts about RMDs, the new IRS life expectancy tables, tax implications, tax withholding for RMDs, tax penalties for incorrect RMDs, ways to reduce the tax impact of RMDs, and options for using money that is withdrawn from tax-deferred retirement savings accounts.
