Question

Can I use one distribution to satisfy RMDs across multiple accounts?

Answer

For IRAs, yes, you can aggregate your RMDs and take the total from one or more IRAs. However, workplace plans like 401(k)s must each satisfy their own RMD. You cannot use an IRA distribution to cover a workplace RMD.
