This waiver includes RMDs for individuals who turned age 70 \u00bd in 2019 and took their first RMD in 2020.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/retirement-plans\/roth-iras\">Roth IRAs<\/a>&nbsp;do not require withdrawals until after the death of the owner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What if I already took my RMD?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If an individual has already taken an RMD in 2020, including someone who turned 70 \u00bd during 2019, the individual will have the option of returning the distribution to their account or other qualified plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the RMD rule is suspended, RMDs taken in 2020 are considered eligible for rollover. Therefore, RMDs can be rolled over to another IRA, another qualified retirement plan, or returned to the original plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An IRA owner or beneficiary who has already received an RMD in 2020 can also repay the distribution to the distributing IRA no later than Aug. 31, 2020, to avoid paying taxes on that distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IRS&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-drop\/n-20-51.pdf\">Notice 2020-51 (PDF)<\/a>&nbsp;also provides that the one rollover per 12-month period limitation and the restriction on rollovers to inherited IRAs do not apply to this repayment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CARES Act provisions apply to most retirement plans, including traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 401(k) plans, 403(b) plans, 457(b) plans, profit sharing plans and other defined contribution plans. The RMD suspension does not apply to qualified defined benefit plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can I find more information?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>More information on the CARES Act and retirement plans, including FAQs, can be found on at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/coronavirus-related-relief-for-retirement-plans-and-iras-questions-and-answers\">Coronavirus-related relief for retirement plans and IRAs questions and answers<\/a>.  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/irs-seniors-retirees-not-required-to-take-distributions-from-retirement-accounts-this-year-under-new-law\">https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/newsroom\/irs-seniors-retirees-not-required-to-take-distributions-from-retirement-accounts-this-year-under-new-law<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IR-2020-162, July 17, 2020 WASHINGTON \u2014 The Internal Revenue Service today reminds seniors and retirees that they are not required to take money out of their IRAs and workplace retirement [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":88892,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-812","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>IRS: Seniors, retirees not required to take distributions from retirement accounts this year under new law - Ayoub Sidhum &amp; Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Ayoub and Associates CPA Firm is a full service Corona CPA firm that provides services in accounting, tax preparation and planning, IRS audit, and sales tax.
