by Intuit• Updated 2 weeks ago
This article will help you calculate the additional tax on Form 5329 if your client took a distribution from their plan that was less than the minimum required amount.
Before you start:
The rules for required minimum distributions changed under the SECURE Act. Generally, your client may be subject to RMDs starting the April after the year in which they reach age 72 or age 73, depending on their birthdate. Review the IRS guidance for determining if and when your client's IRA or retirement plan will be subject to RMDs.
