Can an RMD from a profit sharing plan be taken from an IRA?

[Lori H]

participant has an IRA and a profit sharing plan. He is 75 and his wife is the owner. Can he satisfy the profit sharing's RMD by taking it solely from the IRA?

[Lou S.]

No.

While all IRAs of a participant can be aggregated and the minimimum distribution be taken from any one, each qualified plan must indepedently satisfy the RMD requirements.
