Ask an Accountant

How can I determine what federal and state tax to withhold on an RMD from a retirement account?Thank you.

Good question! I would start by checking with your financial institution first. The majority of IRAs automatically apply a 10% withholding on RMDs. So before you elect to withhold more, I would see what your current withholding elections are.
