Retirement tax questions

@dmertz I have two questions as I'd like to make sure I do RMD tax correctly.
(1) To calculate tax on 401(k) RMD (account A as described above), do I use 12/31/2017 401(k) A balance?  Or use the RMD distribution date?  I still have 401(k) A today.

(2) To calculate tax on 401(k) (account B), do I use 12/31/2017 traditional IRA balance as 401(k) B was rolled over to traditional IRA *after* the distribution?  

Just want to make sure.  Thank you so much for your help.
