TurboTax is providing incorrect information regarding minimum distributions from IRAs

Yes, if you were born after Jun 30, 1949 then the required distribution starts with age 72.

 

You generally have to start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, or retirement plan account when you reach age 70½.  Due to changes made by the SECURE Act, if your 70th birthday is July 1, 2019 or later, you do not have to take withdrawals until you reach age 72. 

 

 

Beginning date for your first required minimum distribution

• IRAs (including SEPs and SIMPLE IRAs)
  • April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which you reach age 70½, if you were born before July 1, 1949.
  • April 1 of the year following the calendar year in which you reach age 72, if you were born  after Jun 30, 1949.
• 401(k), profit-sharing, 403(b), or other defined contribution plan
  Generally, April 1 following the later of the calendar year in which you:
  • reach age 72 (age 70½ if born before July 1, 1949), or
  • retire (if your plan allows this).
