RMD - Required Minimum Distributions can be a confusing mouthful when you see it for the first time. Now that you're 72, you're going to become very familiar with this annual distribution requirement from the IRS. You generally must begin taking Required Minimum Distributions from your tax-deferred retirement accounts by April 1st of the year after you turn 72.

Good thing you've got your Full Circle Financial team monitoring this with you -- the penalty is 50% if you miss the requirement!
