Failure to take your full RMD has consequences
If you fail to take your full RMD by December 31, you may owe a 25% excise tax on the amount NOT withdrawn. Under SECURE 2.0, this penalty is reduced to 10% if the shortfall is corrected within a 2-year window.
The first RMD can be delayed to April 1 of the following year, but if you do, you must take two RMDs in that year — both will be taxable income.
Projected RMD amounts assuming your account grows at 6.0% annually between distributions, using the Uniform Lifetime Table.

| 2035(Age 80) | $624,046 | 20.2 | $30,893 |
The SECURE 2.0 Act (signed December 2022) changed the age at which RMDs must begin, phased in over several years. Your birth year determines which rule applies to you.
| Birth Year | RMD Start Age | Governing Law |
|---|---|---|
| Born 1950 or earlier | 72 | SECURE Act 1.0 |
| Born 1951–1959You | 73 | SECURE 2.0 (2023) |
| Born 1960 or later | 75 | SECURE 2.0 (2033) |
Important: First RMD Deadline
Your first RMD can be delayed to April 1 of the year after you reach your RMD start age. All subsequent RMDs must be taken by December 31 each year. Delaying the first RMD means you will owe two taxable distributions in that same calendar year, which could push you into a higher tax bracket.
