2024 RMD Excess Accumulation Worksheet Problem - TTax De;ixe

In 2024 our total RMD from all our IRA accounts is substantially less than the total withdrawals we made from the same accounts during the year.

However, because we withdrew less than the specified RMD in just one of the accounts, TTax Deluxe is triggering Form 5329,and we're being assessed a 25% tax on the deficit eventhough we have withdrawn substantially more than all RMDs combined.

What do you suggest?

An IRA owner must calculate the RMD separately for each IRA that he or she owns, but can withdraw the total amount from one or more of the IRAs. 

 

If you are sure that you have satisfied all RMD requirements, then in TurboTax, on each RMD withdrawal, answer that The entire distribution was an RMD then on the following page, enter the amount of the distribution as the RMD amount for that IRA. By doing this, you are telling TurboTax that all RMDs are satisfied and TurboTax will not calculate any penalty. The information you entered in TurboTax is to enable TurboTax to calculate any penalty where applicable, and is not reported to the IRS.

 

Similarly, a 403(b) contract owner must calculate the RMD separately for each 403(b) contract that he or she owns, but can take the total amount from one or more of the 403(b) contracts.

 

However, RMDs required from other types of retirement plans, such as 401(k) and 457(b) plans have to be taken separately from each of those plan accounts.
