If you are over age 75 then you will have to amend all those returns in order because each failure to take RMD has its own penalty associated which is 50 % of that RMD.

You may have a hard time getting the penalties waived because you failed to act in a timely fashion to correct the error.

Unless you can show reasonable cause, like you were in a coma for four years.

Why do you say over age 75? I will be 75 later this year,
