Retirement tax questions

Where did you hear about RMD?  Did you turn 73 in 2024 and need to start taking the RMD Required Minimum Distribution from a IRA or 401K accounts?  Or are you getting pensions?

 

For pension.....It's whatever they send you. Say all of it is the RMD. If you have a RMD requirement it will ask you if it is the RMD. Say yes and enter the amount as the RMD amount. The pension doesn't need to calculate any RMD. Anything your pension pays you is considered to be the RMD. Traditional pensions automatically fulfill the rules of an RMD. So just enter the same amount in box 1 for the RMD for each 1099R.
