Tonite my TTax updated and added a bunch of RMD questions to my finished but not yet filed '24 return. In the past it was acceptable to make an rmd from a single account that covered all TIRA accounts. To clarify, rmd of $1k from acct A and rmd of $1k from acct B. Pay rmd of $2k from acct B, the rmd has been met. No $$ take from acct A. Now I see in the RMD page a note: "do not include rmd for other accts you may have. They should be entered separately".
So I did not take an RMD from Acct A because I took it from Acct B and entire RMD was satisfied. I am now confused. Did the law change or has TTax simply added verbage that has confused me?
ALSO:
There is a new page added to TTax. " Did I Miss a RMD?" "If an acct did not have a distribution blah, blah"
That goes back to the top of this query. An rmd was required from an acct but that rmd was taken from a different TIRA account, combining the totals from both account into one RMD from one acct. 5 yrs ago when I first did this I read the IRS reg that this approach was acceptable. I hope it has not changed since then.
Pls clarify my confusion.
