FAQ
Unless you instruct us not to withhold taxes, the IRS requires us to withhold at least 10% of your withdrawals from traditional IRAs, SEP-IRAs, and SIMPLE IRAs for federal income taxes.
Withdrawals from a traditional IRA You'll need to figure out how much of your account is made up of nondeductible contributions. Next, subtract this amount from the number 1 to arrive at the taxable portion of your traditional IRA. Finally, multiply this number by the amount you withdrew from your traditional IRA.
To avoid taxes on IRA withdrawals, consider the following strategies: Convert to a Roth IRA. Consider converting traditional IRA funds into a Roth IRA. Use Roth contributions. If you have a Roth IRA, prioritize contributions to it. Delay withdrawals.
(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.
If you wish to withdraw your earnings from a Roth IRA without paying taxes, you must be 59½ and must have held the Roth IRA for at least five years. Exceptions to these requirements include: Becoming disabled and needing the funds to live on.
Age 59½ and over: No Traditional IRA withdrawal restrictions You can keep taking advantage of tax-deferred contributions regardless of your age as long as you have earned income. But you will be required to start taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) for the year you turn age 73.
For traditional IRAs you must begin taking withdrawals, or Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs), starting at age 73, (or 72 if you were born before July 1, 1949). The rules for making withdrawals from a Roth IRA are more nuanced, though generally you must be age 59½ and have held the account for five years.
For example, imagine a retiree with an IRA worth $500,000 on Dec. 31, 2024. If he or she is beginning to take RMDs in 2025, at age 73, the RMD would be $18,867.92 ($500,000 / 26.5). But if this person has already turned 74 in 2025, the distribution amount would be $19,607.84 ($500,000 / 25.5).
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.
IRAs: IRA withdrawals from traditional IRAs and IRA-based plans occur every year once people reach age 73, even if they're still employed. IRA owners who reach age 73 in 2024, however, have until April 1, 2025, to take their first RMD based on their account balance on Dec. 31, 2023, and the second RMD is due by Dec.
