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.
