What You Need to Know Before Taking an IRA RMD From IRA 2025

5. Common Mistakes to Avoid When Taking Your IRA RMD

• Forgetting to take an RMD: If you miss an RMD, the IRS can impose a substantial punishment, regularly 50% of the sum that should have been withdrawn.
• Withdrawing too much: While meeting the RMD is essential, taking more than the required amount can unnecessarily increase your taxable income.
• Failing to take the RMD from each account: If you have multiple IRAs, you must take an RMD from each one (unless you have a SIMPLE IRA or SEP IRA).
