Problem:
Missing a required minimum distribution (RMD) from your IRA can be devastating and costly. Keep in mind the IRS missed RMD Penalty is 50% of the MISSED required distribution amount. Imagine you’re required minimum distribution (RMD) is $10,000 for a year and you forgot to take the distribution. What might the impact of this be?
Let’s look at this:
$10,000
The amount you were to withdraw from your IRA
$5,000
IRS’s missed RMD penalty! This is 50% of what you were supposed to withdraw
$3,500
Is the taxes on the whole amount, assuming 35% for federal and state taxes
1,500
Is all you get after that mistake and paying the IRS’s missed RMD penalty!

Overview of calculating an RMD
Take the owner’s age as it would be at the end of the year your doing the calculation for. Then, you locate their remaining age expectancy in the IRS life table. You then locate the balance of the account on December 31, of the year before the current year (assuming you are calculating the RMD for this year).
Next step is to do some math. Divide the account balance by the life expectancy. The result is the amount you need to withdraw from the account. Repeat across all accounts. Note: there are provisions for how and where you can withdraw the money.
