Different rules and conditions may apply to RMDs from inherited accounts and your qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans, including:

  • 401(k) plans,
  • 403(b) plans,
  • 457(b) plans,
  • Profit sharing plans, and
  • Other defined contribution plans.

If the retirement plan account is an IRA or the account owner is a 5% owner of the business sponsoring the retirement plan, the RMDs must begin once the account holder is age 70 ½.

The rules regarding RMDs can be complex, so be sure to contact your tax advisor to ensure you’re in compliance.
