You Asked Us... and We Answered

  • Let’s say I take a distribution in December, and leave only $10 in my traditional IRA. This means that when my custodian calculates my RMD amount, it will be $0.00 (rounding to the nearest dollar) since my December 31 fair market value (FMV) will be $10. Given that I have 60-days to rollover the amount, I can complete the rollover in January, bringing my balance back to what it was before I took the distribution.  I think I can do this every year and always avoid the RMD.

  • I received $100,000 in rollover eligible assets from my 401(k) account, but I had the amount paid to me. My employer withheld 20% for federal taxes, so I received only $80,000. I want to rollover the entire $100,000. Should my employer refund the amount they withheld for taxes to me?
