Deadline Reminder
Your RMD must be taken by: April 1 of the year after you turn 73
Since this is your first RMD year, you may delay until April 1 of next year. However, you will then need to take two RMDs in that year (the delayed first-year RMD plus the current-year RMD).
Failure to take your full RMD results in a 25% penalty tax on the amount not distributed (reduced from 50% under SECURE 2.0).
