postponement of RMD from SIMPLE plan


Recommended Posts

Posted

If a 78-year-old non-5% owner is still employed & participating in a SIMPLE-IRA plan, can they elect to defer their RMD until after they terminate service with the employer?

SIMPLEs & SEPS follow IRA rules.

No Delays.

The "after retirement" exception is for qualified plans. SEP's are subject to the same RMD rules as for IRA's [i.R.C. Sec. 402(h)(3)]. It's not unusual for an employer to be obligated to make SEP contributions on behalf of employees who are 70-1/2 or older, despite the fact that these individuals are already receiving RMD's from the same SEP.

Thanks for the info. Client became eligible for the plan 1/1/03 & received a 2% no-elective employer contribution earlier this year. She is 78 years old. How is the RMD calculated for this year if there was no 12/31/03 balance to use?

Balances are no longer adjusted for prior year contributions for RMD purposes. The employee would start distributions in the following year.
