Is anyone planning on taking RMD from Vanguard and has received the information?

[question everything]

Their calculations are wrong, wrong, wrong.

Publication 520 Appendix B Table III lists the denominators which go down as we age.

For spouse they have used the denominator for a two years younger person. For mine - a number which is not even in the table!

Have been calculating it again and again.




Correction. My denominator is in.. for someone two years younger. It was used for my 2020 RMD

1. I don't have my numbers.

Do you get yours online?

[question everything]

3. I got an email that the confirmation was ready

So I found it and printed.

But if you go to your account, look for retirement contribution, distribution and RMD section.

Once there, go to View your status or take a distribution.

It shows you the amount you need to take based on the value at the end of the year and on a denominator - iRS Life expectancy factor.

The ones for me, and for my spouse, were used two years ago.

If you have taken RMD before, you can view the the RMD calculation history and there, lo and behold was the same current factor for 2020.

Hope this helps. I am hoping back and forth between this reply and my account on Vanguard.

2. Check the date on the table

I believe it changed for 2022

[question everything]

4. The most recent one I found was for 2020, the same.

Perhaps I need to go back for 2022

Nope, 2020 is the most recent

5. IRS apparently hasn't issued it - I could't find it either

For 72 the old table had 25.6 and the new table reported has 27.4 which happens to be the same as 70 in the old table.

[question everything]

7. Thank you. Yes, I am looking at the Uniform Lifetime and they switched everything by two years

Since originally people had to start taking at 70.5 and now at 72.

This is why Vanguard is using the same factor that it used two years ago.

So much fun for people who do their own taxes and don't mind reading tax forms and publications.

I visited the site a few days ago to look at current forms and publications and agreed to provide feedback which was quite good.

Now I wish I knew about this..

8. Maybe they changed it based

on the reduction in life expectancy thanks to trump.

I expect if trump returns, there will be many people who get their inheritance early.

9. It is based on an increased life expectancy n/t

6. I just looked at my Vanguard account

The RMD they calculated for me uses the new un-issued table. The RMD amount divided by the year end balance is exactly the table's number for my age.

10. The RMD charts were changed at 74 mine was 24.7, it was changed to 25.5 this year.

I found the new chart on the irs.gov. I divided my IRA balance by 25.5 and it was right to the penny.
I took mine already got the check.

[question everything]

11. You found it on irs.gov?

Just been there and it still sends visitors to the same 2020 Pub. 540?

The whole section till talks about RMDs were suspended in 2020..

Perhaps I need to refresh the page. Somehow.

12. I think that is where I got it. Federal Register/Vol. 85 No. 219/ Thursday November, 12, 2020/
