FAQ
You generally have to start taking withdrawals from your IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SEP IRA, or retirement plan account when you reach age 73. You're not required to take withdrawals from Roth IRAs, or from Designated Roth accounts in a 401(k) or 403(b) plan while the account owner is alive.
(updated Dec. 10, 2024) You must take your first required minimum distribution for the year in which you reach age 73. However, you can delay taking the first RMD until April 1 of the following year. If you reach age 73 in 2024, you must take your first RMD by April 1, 2025, and the second RMD by Dec. 31, 2025.
A Roth IRA allows you to withdraw your contributions at any time—for any reason—without penalty or taxes. For example: If you contributed $12,000 over 2 years and your Roth IRA has grown to $13,200, you can take out the original $12,000 without taxes and penalties.
There is no 10% early withdrawal penalty on distributions from an Inherited IRA. RMDs would eventually start at the original owner's RBD—or immediately, if the original owner had already passed their RBD.
Use Form 5329 to report distributions subject to the 10% additional tax on early distributions from a qualified retirement plan, including traditional IRAs. If you received a distribution that meets an exception, but box 7 on Form 1099-R doesn't show an exception, use Form 5329 to indicate the correct exception.
Exceptions to the 10% additional tax apply to an early distribution from a traditional or Roth IRA that is: Not in excess of your unreimbursed medical expenses that are more than a certain percentage of your adjusted gross income.

If you take an early withdrawal from your IRA or 401(k), complete Part 1 or 2 of Form 5329 to calculate possible IRS penalties or request a penalty waiver.
This applies to both Traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs (you will receive one Form 5498 for each IRA that you contribute to). There are two Form 5498 mailing periods: The first mailing, due January 31 in the following year, covers contributions from January 1 to December 31 of the previous year.
