Question

Which retirement accounts require RMDs?

Answer

Traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and most employer-sponsored plans — including 401(k), 403(b), and 457(b) accounts — are subject to RMDs. Roth IRAs and, as of 2024, designated Roth accounts in workplace plans are not subject to RMDs during the original owner’s lifetime.
