flag Starting in 2026, individuals born between 1951 and 1959 must begin taking required minimum distributions (RMDs) from traditional IRAs and 401(k)s at age 73, per the Secure 2.0 Act. flag RMDs, which are taxable, must be calculated annually using IRS life expectancy tables and withdrawn by December 31 each year, with the first RMD due by April 1, 2026. flag Failing to withdraw the required amount triggers a 25% penalty, reducible to 10% if corrected promptly. flag RMDs do not apply to Roth IRAs during the owner’s lifetime, but Roth 401(k)s and 403(b)s also have no lifetime RMDs under the new law. flag The RMD age will rise to 75 for those born in 1960 or later.
