An RMD was requested on 12/29/2023. The fund company didn't process it until 1/2/2024. They said a 2024 1099-R will be generated since the distribution wasn't actually done until 2024.

How is the handled by the participant regarding his taxes? He is expected to reflect a 2023 RMD but will not have a 1099-R to show for it. in 2024, he will end up with 2 1099-R's.

We just had one that was very timely submitted, (early December) and the custodian botched it. Didn't cut the check until 1/2. To give them credit, they said, in writing, that if the IRS won't waive the 10% penalty, then they will pay it.

I'd be a little surprised if the IRS won't waive in such a situation. Historically, at least in my experience, they have been very reasonable about this type of thing.

I had a good one at lunch. My wife's old boss has an inherited IRA and Fidelity told him earlier this year his RMD is X; he takes X plus some more a few months ago. He just happened to log on to his account on 12/28 and Fidelity has a note your have only taken 95% of your RMD and it says he's $273 short.

So he says OK, sets up a withdrawal for $273 to cover it, whatever. Gets a note - it's too late to process in 2023 it went out 1/2/24.

It's not the money since I told him the penalty is $27, he's just upset at Fidelity somehow changing the amount he needed to take and if they notified him he didn't see it. We have no idea why, he's going to call them but my guess is since it's an inherited IRA where he was not the spouse they had the wrong divisor the first time.
