Retired on December 29, 2021, do I need to take RMD for 2021?

[saraswati]

For 2021 tax return?

[MinhT1]

If you retired in December 2021, you are not required to take a RMD for your 401(k) in 2021.

Your RMD obligations will start in 2022 if you satisfy the age requirement.

Thanks a lot.

You retirement status has nothing to do with the RMD rule for an IRA.

Only your age matters.

IRA owners:

For tax years 2019 and earlier, you were required
to begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the
year following the year in which you reached age
701/2. If you reach age 701/2 in tax year 2020 or later, you
must generally begin receiving distributions from your IRA
by April 1 of the year following the year in which you reach
age 72.

Thanks
