What are RMDs?

RMDs are required minimum distributions, the minimum amount you must withdraw from your retirement account each year by Dec. 31.

This includes workplace plans such as 401(k)s and 403(b)s, as well as traditional individual retirement accounts and self-employed retirement plans, including SIMPLE and SEP IRAs. Starting in 2024, certain non-IRA Roth accounts will no longer require RMDs.
