What is my current year required minimum distribution?

Current tax law specifies that once you reach age 73, you must begin taking RMDs annually from your IRAs and other retirement plans. Generally, the RMD amount is determined based on your prior year's IRA balance of all of your IRA assets divided by your life expectancy. If RMDs are not taken annually, you may be subject to an additional 25% penalty for the amount you were supposed to take. Please note this tool is designed to provide an estimate for individuals age 73 or older.
