The rules surrounding RMDs are complicated and often require a few conversations with clients to help them understand the issues that must be considered.

To help make this easier, we have created the “Can I Avoid Taking My RMD After Reaching My Required Beginning Date (RBD)?” flowchart. This flowchart addresses common questions about RMDs for clients that have reached RMD age, including:

  • What to do if a client forgot to take an RMD
  • How the RMD is calculated
  • How to handle multiple retirement accounts
  • Which RMDs can be combined and which ones can not
  • Considerations if the client is still working or a business owner

“With working from home most of 2020, we wanted to still catch some face time with our clients. We used the checklists and flowcharts to conduct webinars covering various topics. In fact, having the charts readily available, we were able to do many of these on a weekly basis, knowing the material was pretty much already established. We had such great feedback that we are continuing the webinars into 2021. We have many that actually look forward to our meeting times, and found being able to have the flowchart or checklist available to work on their own later was an added bonus.”
