Accounts that require RMDs include:
Traditional, Rollover, SEP or SIMPLE IRAs
Most employer-sponsored retirement plans, including 401(k) and 403(b) plans

Your first RMD: Must be taken by April 1 of the year after the year you turn age 73.*
Keep in mind: If you defer your first RMD until April 1, you’ll also need to take your second RMD In the same year. This additional income could have significant tax implications to consider.
Subsequent RMDs: Must be taken by December 31 of each year.
Avoid costly penalties. RMDs aren’t optional. If you don’t take your RMD, or take out too little, you may be faced with an IRS penalty tax up to 25% of the amount not distributed.***
The SECURE 2.0 Act of 2022 changed the rules associated with RMDs. It's important to make sure you understand the rules and update your RMD strategy accordingly.
If you don’t need your RMD for living expenses, here are three ways you could potentially put your RMD to work for the things that matter most to you.
Use it to potentially grow your investment portfolio. Simply reinvest the distribution into a new or existing general investing account to help you save for a wide variety of goals—without limits, penalties, or restrictions.
You can use your RMD to invest in a 529 college savings plan. These funds can be used for college costs, K-12 expenses, and student loan repayment. Any earnings are tax-free when used for qualified expenses.†
Satisfy your RMD by donating to one or more eligible charities. This type of gift is know as a qualified charitable distribution (QCD) and up to $105,000 for 2024 (indexed for inflation) is excluded from income.

†Be sure to review any 529 college savings plan offered by your home state or your beneficiary’s home state, as there may be state tax or other state benefits, such as financial aid, scholarship funds, and protection from creditors that are only available for investments in the home state’s plan. Be sure to read the college savings plan’s disclosure document, which includes investment objectives, risks, fees, charges and expenses, and other information you should read and consider carefully before investing. Tax benefits may be conditioned on meeting certain requirements, such as residency, purpose for or timing of distributions, or other factors, as applicable.
While distributions from 529 college savings plans for elementary or secondary education tuition expenses are federally tax-free, state tax treatment will vary and could include state income taxes assessed, the recapture of previously deducted amounts from state taxes, and/or state-level penalties.
