Hi SMK11! This is a great question.
CA does have a penalty. If all or a portion of an RMD was not timely withdrawn, there was a significant penalty of 50%. (That penalty has since been reduced to 25% by SECURE 2.0, and further to 10% if the error is corrected within, typically, two years.)

You can request a waiver if you meet certain criteria.
