How are RMD reported?
When you receive a distribution from an IRA, a Form 1099-R is generated at the end of the tax year. If the distribution is for your RMD for the year (treated as a normal distribution) there will be a Code of 7 in Box 7 of the form.
Any RMD distributed from your IRA must be reported on Form 1099-R, Distributions from Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs, Insurance Contracts, etc. You must also report your RMD on Form 1040, your federal income tax return.
