Footnote 2 Effective 1/1/2020, in accordance with new legislation, the required beginning date for RMDs is age 72. You may defer your first RMD until April 1st in the year after you turn age 72, but then you'd be required to take two distributions in that year. Failure to take all or part of an RMD results in a 50% additional tax applicable to the amount of the RMD not withdrawn. In addition, under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, all 2020 RMDs have been waived, There are no coronavirus eligibility requirements associated with this change. 2020 distributions that would have been RMD payments prior to the law change may be restored to a plan or IRA subject to the 60-day rollover rule and the one-rollover-per-year limitation. Consult your tax advisor for more information on your personal circumstances.
Footnote 3 If any portion of your employer plan account balance is eligible to be rolled over and you do not elect to make a direct rollover (a payment of the amount of your employer plan benefit directly to an IRA), the plan is required by law to withhold 20% of the taxable amount. This amount is sent to the Internal Revenue Service as federal income tax withholding. State tax withholding and a 10% early-withdrawal additional tax also may apply. If you timely complete an indirect rollover, you can work with your tax advisor to obtain a refund from the IRS when you file your tax return for the taxable year.
