What if my rmd was a few dollars short of required?

[DonNielson]

My qcd was a few dollars short of my rmd.  How to I ask for a waiver?

[JohnB5677]

You should withdraw the balance of the RMD before April 18th.  

• This will fulfill the RMD requirement.  
• It may be taxable, but you stated it was only a few dollars.  
• You should include it on your 2022 tax return as a substitute 1099-R.  This will avoid having to file an amended return next year.
• You will get a 1099-R in 2023 for this transaction.
• If you do as suggested above you can disregard that 1099-R.
