When must I receive my required minimum distribution from my IRA? You must take your first required minimum distribution for the year in which you turn age 72 (70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020). If you reach 70½ in 2020, you have to take your first RMD by April 1 of the year after you reach the age of 72.
Is RMD recalculated every year?
As a rule, you must take RMDs by Dec. 31 each year. However, appreciating that new “distributors” may need extra time to prepare for the withdrawal process, the IRS lets you defer your first RMD to as late as April 1 following the calendar year you turn 72.
When do I have to start taking RMDs from my IRA?

What happens if you roll over a RMD?
