Retirees Should Know These 3 Facts About Required Minimum Distributions

By Tim Kramer

There is an important rule that many in the retiree cohort should keep in mind in the coming tax season. If one does not withdraw funds from their IRA that meets the RMD or required minimum distribution there is fifty percent penalty of the RMD amount.
