What else can I help you with?
Are Roth IRA's subject to minimum required distributions?
No. Because you contribute after-tax dollars, you have already paid taxes on the money and there is really no reason that the government would want to mandate distributions. On traditional IRAs, required minimum distributions begin at age 70 1/2 for the rest of your life. Because you invested pre-tax, the government doesn't get their cut until you make distributions. Thus, if you haven't done this by 70 1/2, you are forced to begin taking out a certain percentage.
Do you have to take a RMD from your IRA if you are still working past 70?
For traditional IRAs, the answer is "yes". For Roth IRAs, there are no Required Minimum Distributions during the taxpayer's lifetime. You may be thinking of the rule that permits non-5% owners of a business that offers a "qualified" retirement plan to defer RMDs from that plan until the LATER of their retirement or Age 70.5. But that provision does not apply to IRAs.
Why take out money of IRA at age 70.5?
At age 70.5, the IRS requires individuals to start taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) from their Traditional IRAs to ensure that taxes are paid on the money that was contributed tax-deferred. Failing to take RMDs may result in penalties and taxes on the amount not withdrawn.
How does a 65 citizen fill out a 8606 tax form?
Form 8606 is Nondeductible IRAs. Form 8606 is used to report several situations. One, nondeductible contributions made to a traditional IRA. Two, distributions from IRAs (traditional, SEP, SIMPLE) if nondeductible contributions were ever made to traditional IRAs. Three, distributions from Roth IRAs. Four, conversions from IRAS (traditional, SEP, SIMPLE) to Roth IRAs. Nondeductible contributions already have been taxed. So it's important to file Form 8606 to report nondeductible contributions so that you won't be taxed twice on the same money when you start receiving distributions from that IRA. There's a $50 penalty for not filing Form 8606 if you're required to do so. There's also a $100 penalty for overstating your nondeductible contributions. For more information, go to www.irs.gov/formspubs for Publication 590 (Individual Retirement Accounts).
Is there an upper age limit at which all IRA funds must be withdrawn?
In the case of a traditional IRA (but not a Roth IRA), withdrawals must begin at age 70 1/2. The minimum required withdrawal is a percentage of your account balance based an life-expectancy tables published by the IRS. Failure to withdraw this amount will result in a penalty of 50% of the amount you failed to withdraw. There is no actual age by which it must be all withdrawn, but you would expect that as you take your required minimum distributions each year, the account balance will dwindle. But if you are an especially astute (or lucky) investor, it is theoretically possible that your account will grow even after the distributions and you will never draw it down to zero.
Can you explain how RMDs work?
Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) are mandatory withdrawals from certain retirement accounts, like traditional IRAs and 401(k)s, that individuals must take once they reach a certain age, typically 72. The amount of the RMD is calculated based on the account balance and the individual's life expectancy. Failure to take the RMD can result in penalties from the IRS.

Form 8606 is used to report non-deductible contributions to traditional IRAs and Roth IRA conversions to the IRS. It helps track the basis in your IRAs, which is important for calculating future tax obligations when distributions are made.
What are the distributions from retirement plans and how do they impact my financial future?
Distributions from retirement plans are the money you withdraw from your retirement accounts, like 401(k)s or IRAs, once you retire. These distributions can impact your financial future by providing you with income during retirement. It's important to plan carefully to ensure you have enough savings to support your lifestyle after you stop working.
Do distributions from an inherited IRA qualify for the NYS pension and annuity exclusion?

What is the difference between a stretch IRA and an inherited IRA?
A stretch IRA minimizes account distributions by prolonging the tax-deffered status throughout several generations of your family. An inherited IRA is the IRA that is left to a beneficiary after a person holding an IRA passes away.
