....calculation is very simple. Get the total value of your IRA's (not Roth) as of the end of the
previous year, divide by a number provided in the IRS table, and that's your minimum distribution.

Then give it to your kids as a Christmas present, minus the taxes you'll owe on it.

Simple, huh?

Or you could get involved in another hobby. Or buy some more guns, or maybe a motorcycle.

So, all you youngsters have nothing to fear. Don't pay some CPA guy to do your taxes for you.

My brokerage sends me a notice with what I have to withdraw. Even simpler
than IRS. The scary part is what is the tax rate going to be in 5 years
with the gross overspending by the government.

That's it. Nothing to it.

Calculating the required minimum distribution
The required minimum distribution for any year is the account balance as of the end of the
immediately preceding calendar year divided by a distribution period from the IRS’s Uniform Lifetime
Table. A separate table is used if the sole beneficiary is the owner’s spouse who is ten or more
years younger than the owner.

Here's the worksheet.

In my case, add 'em all up, divide by 27.4. Tell the bank to transfer the amount from your IRA to
wherever - in my case a money market savings account for the time being.

This appears top start around 3.7% at 70 and keeps increasing every
year to over 50% when you are 115

Table makes it easy. No percents to mess with.

That works well if all your IRA funds are in one account.

I just took the reciprocal of that number in the table to get the
percent so it made more sense.

When I get to 115, I'm gonna be really ****ed at that 53% bull****.

Forget the money market. This is where I keep my extra cash:
