Mrd

[brownertax]

I Am New To The Forum So Bear With Me Please. My Question Is: Taxpayer Has Been Receiving A Minimum Required Distribution And Is Now Deceased. Spouse Is Not 701/2 And The Financial Institution Did Not Send Her Notice That She Was Getting The Mrd. Is She Liable For The 50% Penalty. Thank You

Here's the poster's question, (welcome, brownertax) though I don't know the answer.

Is She Liable For The 50% Penalty.

PS- Maybe a waiver available- TTB 13-24, Form 5329.

If you're talking about a IRA--here is some information from page 13-24 TTB

Beneficiary can leave the IRA in the name of the deceased
participant’s IRA and continue to treat himself or herself as a
beneficiary of the IRA. RMD is determined under one of the
following:
• If the decedent was already receiving RMD at the time of
death, the beneficiary can take out the distributions over the
longer of:
– The beneficiary’s own life based on the Single Lifetime Table
using the age of the beneficiary as of his or her birthday
in the year following the year of the decedent’s death, reduced
by one for each subsequent year, or
– The decedent’s life based on the Single Lifetime Table using
the age of the decedent as of his or her birthday in the year
of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year since.
