Required Minimum Distributions
In 2026, James turns age 73. He owns the following retirement accounts:
- Traditional IRA: $480,000
- Former employer’s 401(k): $320,000
- Roth IRA: $150,000
James is retired and does not work for the employer sponsoring the 401(k).
What is James’s minimum required distribution obligation for 2026?
- RMDs must be taken from the traditional IRA and the 401(k), but not the Roth IRA
- RMDs must be taken from all three accounts
- Only the traditional IRA is subject to RMDs
- No RMDs are required because James is age 73, not 75
