What is the current required timing for taking the RMD...when it is the initial withdrawal and you turned 70 in 2020? Does it need to be taken in 2021 or by the tax filing date for 2021, i.e. April 15, 2022?

So if I was born in February 1950, I would not have to start RMD until I turned 72 in 2022...and then would have until April 1st of 2023 to make withdrawal...correct??

That is correct.

That is correct.

And that would only apply to your first RMD. It would be the 2022 RMD deferred to Apr 1, 2023, but you still must take another 2023 RMD before the end of 2023.
