Deductions & credits

Q:  Can I skip making estimated payments and have the total tax I owe for the year taken out of the RMD?

A:  Yes.

 

Q:  Will this be counted as having been withheld evenly throughout the year, and result in no underpayment penalties or interest charged?

A:  Yes.  Amounts withheld from IRA distributions are considered paid evenly throughout the year, even if made in a lump sum payment at year-end.
