Can rmds from IRAs, SEP IRAS, 401K and 403B all be taken from one account?

[kurcz]

If I calculate RMDs separately from all retirement accounts i.e. IRA, SEP-IRA,401K,403B. Can I take out the total RMD from only one type of account? Or must I keep some separate?

You must keep some separate.  Here is the IRS rule:

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. 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.
