What is the required beginning date for RMD?

April 1 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. For all subsequent years, including the year in which you were paid the first RMD by April 1, you must take the RMD by December 31 of the year.

What if I already took RMD for 2020?

Any 2020 RMD Can be Undone The IRS now says that anyone who took an RMD from an IRA or 401(k) plan in 2020 can repay the withdrawn funds – even if the withdrawal was in January. The repayment will be treated as a tax-free rollover, but it isn’t subject to the “one-rollover-every-12-months” rule.

You must take your first RMD by April 1 of the calendar year after you turn 70½. Thereafter, you must take your RMDs by December 31.
