How to Report a Rmd Failure to the Irs?
Failure to withdraw a required minimum distribution (RMD) from an IRA, 401(k) or similar account by the deadline can result in a 50% additional tax assessed on the amount of the RMD that was not taken. However, the IRS will waive the 50% additional tax for good cause.
