What’s New
Qualified tuition program rollover to a Roth IRA. Be-
ginning with distributions made after December 31, 2023,
a beneficiary of a section 529 qualified tuition program is
permitted to roll over a distribution from the section 529
account to a Roth IRA for the beneficiary if certain require-
ments are met.
The rollover must be paid through a trustee-to-trustee
transfer.
The rollover amount cannot be more than the Roth
IRA annual contributions limit.
Mar 12, 2024

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.
The rollover must be from a section 529 account that
has been open for more than 15 years.
The distribution is paid in a direct trustee-to-trustee
transfer (rollover) to a Roth IRA maintained for the benefit
of the designated beneficiary. The distribution cannot ex-
ceed the aggregate amount contributed to the program
(and earnings attributed to the contributed amount) before
the 5-year period ending on the date of the distribution.
A distribution made after December 31, 2023, and be-
fore April 15, 2024, that is rolled over to a Roth IRA by
April 15, 2024, and designated for 2023 would be reported
as a Roth IRA contribution for 2023.
For more information, see Trustee-to-Trustee Transfer in
Pub. 590-A.
Distributions to victims of domestic abuse. For tax
years beginning after December 31, 2023, a distribution to
a domestic abuse victim is not subject to the 10% addi-
tional tax on early distributions if the distribution is made
from an applicable eligible retirement plan and made to an
individual during the 1-year period beginning on the date
on which the individual is a victim of domestic abuse by a
spouse or domestic partner.
An eligible distribution to a domestic abuse victim must
not exceed the lesser of $10,000 or 50% of the present
value of the nonforfeitable accrued benefit of the em-
ployee under the plan.
The distribution may be repaid at any time during the
3-year period beginning on the day after the date on which
the distribution was received.
Excise tax relief for certain 2023 required minimum
distributions. The IRS will not assert an excise tax in
2023 for missed RMDs if certain requirements are met.
See Notice 2023-54, available at IRS.gov/irb/2023–
31_IRB#NOT-2023-54, for details.
Reminders
Age increased for required beginning date for re-
quired minimum distributions. Individuals who reach
age 72 after December 31, 2022, may delay receiving
their required minimum distributions until April 1 of the
year following the year in which they reach age 73.
See Your required beginning date for more information.
Income on corrective distributions of excess contri-
butions. The income on the corrective distribution of ex-
cess contributions made on or after, December 29, 2022,
is no longer subject to the 10% additional tax on early dis-
tributions. See Pub. 590-A for more information.
Modification of required distribution rules for desig-
nated beneficiaries. There are new required minimum
distribution rules for certain beneficiaries who are desig-
nated beneficiaries when the IRA owner dies in a tax year
beginning after December 31, 2019. All distributions must
be made by the end of the 10th year after death, except
for distributions made to certain eligible designated bene-
ficiaries. See 10-year rule, later, for more information.
Simplified employee pension (SEP) and SIMPLE
plans. SEP and SIMPLE IRAs aren’t covered in this pub-
lication. They are covered in Pub. 560, Retirement Plans
for Small Business.
Deemed IRAs. A qualified employer plan (retirement
plan) can maintain a separate account or annuity under
the plan (a deemed IRA) to receive voluntary employee
contributions. If the separate account or annuity otherwise
meets the requirements of an IRA, it will be subject only to
IRA rules. An employee's account can be treated as a tra-
ditional IRA or a Roth IRA.
For this purpose, a “qualified employer plan” includes:
A qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus
plan (section 401(a) plan);
A qualified employee annuity plan (section 403(a)
plan);
A tax-sheltered annuity plan (section 403(b) plan); and
A deferred compensation plan (section 457 plan)
maintained by a state, a political subdivision of a state,
or an agency or instrumentality of a state or political
subdivision of a state.
Statement of required minimum distribution (RMD).
If an RMD is required from your IRA, the trustee, custo-
dian, or issuer that held the IRA at the end of the preced-
ing year must either report the amount of the RMD to you,
or offer to calculate it for you. The report or offer must in-
clude the date by which the amount must be distributed.
The report is due January 31 of the year in which the mini-
mum distribution is required. It can be provided with the
year-end fair market value statement that you normally get
each year. No report is required for section 403(b) con-
tracts (generally tax-sheltered annuities) or for IRAs of
owners who have died.
IRA interest. Although interest earned from your IRA is
generally not taxed in the year earned, it isn't tax-exempt
interest. Tax on your traditional IRA is generally deferred
until you take a distribution. Don't report this interest on
your return as tax-exempt interest. For more information
on tax-exempt interest, see the instructions for your tax re-
turn.
Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT). For purposes of the
NIIT, net investment income doesn't include distributions
from a qualified retirement plan (for example, 401(a),
403(a), 403(b), or 457(b) plans, and IRAs). However,
these distributions are taken into account when determin-
ing the modified adjusted gross income threshold. Distri-
butions from a nonqualified retirement plan are included in
net investment income. See Form 8960, Net Investment
Income Tax—Individuals, Estates, and Trusts, and its in-
structions for more information.
Photographs of missing children. The IRS is a proud
partner with the National Center for Missing & Exploited
Children® (NCMEC). Photographs of missing children se-
lected by the Center may appear in this publication on pa-
ges that would otherwise be blank. You can help bring
these children home by looking at the photographs and
calling 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678) if you recog-
nize a child.

Introduction
This publication discusses distributions from individual re-
tirement arrangements (IRAs). An IRA is a personal sav-
ings plan that gives you tax advantages for setting aside
money for retirement. For information about contributions
to an IRA, see Pub. 590-A.
What are some tax advantages of an IRA? Two tax ad-
vantages of an IRA are that:
Contributions you make to an IRA may be fully or parti-
ally deductible, depending on which type of IRA you
have and on your circumstances; and
Generally, amounts in your IRA (including earnings
and gains) aren't taxed until distributed. In some ca-
ses, amounts aren't taxed at all if distributed according
to the rules.
What's in this publication? This publication discusses
traditional and Roth IRAs. It explains the rules for:
Handling an inherited IRA, and
Receiving distributions (making withdrawals) from an
IRA.
It also explains the penalties and additional taxes that
apply when the rules aren't followed. To assist you in com-
plying with the tax rules for IRAs, this publication contains
worksheets, sample forms, and tables, which can be
found throughout the publication and in the appendices at
the back of the publication.
How to use this publication. The rules that you must
follow depend on which type of IRA you have. Use Table
I-1 to help you determine which parts of this publication to
read. Also use Table I-1 if you were referred to this publi-
cation from instructions to a form.

Yes. You must begin receiving required
minimum distributions by April 1 of the
year following the year you reach age
72 (or age 73). See When Must You

Traditional IRAs
Introduction
This chapter discusses distributions from an IRA. In this
publication, the original IRA (sometimes called an ordinary
or regular IRA) is referred to as a “traditional IRA.A tradi-
tional IRA is any IRA that isn't a Roth IRA or a SIMPLE
IRA.
What if You Inherit an IRA?
If you inherit a traditional IRA, you are called a beneficiary.
A beneficiary can be any person or entity the owner choo-
ses to receive the benefits of the IRA after the owner dies.
Beneficiaries of a traditional IRA must include in their
gross income any taxable distributions they receive.
IRAs inherited from decedents who died in 2019
or earlier are subject to different rules. See
Retirement Topics - Beneficiary, for more informa-
tion.
Inherited from spouse. If you inherit a traditional IRA
from your spouse, you generally have the following three
choices.
1. Treat it as your own IRA by designating yourself as the
account owner;
2. Treat it as your own by rolling it over into your IRA, or
to the extent it is taxable, into a:
a. Qualified employer plan,
b. Qualified employee annuity plan (section 403(a)
plan),
c. Tax-sheltered annuity plan (section 403(b) plan),
d. Deferred compensation plan of a state or local
government (section 457 plan), or
3. Treat yourself as the beneficiary rather than treating
the IRA as your own.
Treating it as your own. You will be considered to
have chosen to treat the IRA as your own if:
Contributions (including rollover contributions) are
made to the inherited IRA, or
You don't take the required minimum distribution for a
year as a beneficiary of the IRA.
You will only be considered to have chosen to treat the
IRA as your own if:
You are the sole beneficiary of the IRA, and
TIP
You have an unlimited right to withdraw amounts from
it.
However, if you receive a distribution from your de-
ceased spouse's IRA, you can roll that distribution over
into your own IRA within the 60-day time limit, as long as
the distribution isn't a required distribution, even if you
aren't the sole beneficiary of your deceased spouse's IRA.
For more information, see When Must You Withdraw As-
sets? (Required Minimum Distributions), later.
Inherited from someone other than spouse. If you in-
herit a traditional IRA from anyone other than your de-
ceased spouse, you can't treat the inherited IRA as your
own. This means that you can't make any contributions to
the IRA. It also means you can't roll over any amounts into
or out of the inherited IRA. However, you can make a
trustee-to-trustee transfer as long as the IRA into which
amounts are being moved is set up and maintained in the
name of the deceased IRA owner for the benefit of you as
beneficiary.
Like the original owner, you generally won't owe tax on
the assets in the IRA until you receive distributions from it.
You must begin receiving distributions from the IRA under
the rules for distributions that apply to beneficiaries.
IRA with basis. If you inherit a traditional IRA from a per-
son who had a basis in the IRA because of nondeductible
contributions, that basis remains with the IRA. Unless you
are the decedent's spouse and choose to treat the IRA as
your own, you can't combine this basis with any basis you
have in your own traditional IRA(s) or any basis in tradi-
tional IRA(s) you inherited from other decedents. If you
take distributions from both an inherited IRA and your IRA,
and each has basis, you must complete separate Forms
8606 to determine the taxable and nontaxable portions of
those distributions.
Federal estate tax deduction. A beneficiary may be
able to claim a deduction for estate tax resulting from cer-
tain distributions from a traditional IRA. The beneficiary
can deduct the estate tax paid on any part of a distribution
that is income with respect to a decedent. They can take
the deduction for the tax year the income is reported. For
information on claiming this deduction, see Estate Tax De-
duction under Other Tax Information in Pub. 559.
Any taxable part of a distribution that isn't income with
respect to a decedent is a payment the beneficiary must
include in income. However, the beneficiary can't take any
estate tax deduction for this part.
A surviving spouse can roll over the distribution to an-
other traditional IRA and avoid including it in income for
the year received.
More information. For more information about rollovers,
required distributions, and inherited IRAs, see:
Rollovers under Can You Move Retirement Plan As-
sets? in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A;

mum Distributions), later; and

The discussion of IRA Beneficiaries, later, under
When Must You Withdraw Assets? (Required Mini-
mum Distributions).
When Can You Withdraw or
Use Assets?
You can withdraw or use your traditional IRA assets at any
time. However, a 10% additional tax generally applies if
you withdraw or use IRA assets before you reach age
59
1
/2. This is explained under Age 59 1/2 Rule under Early
Distributions, later.
If you were affected by a qualified disaster, see chap-
ter 3.
You can generally make a tax-free withdrawal of contri-
butions if you do it before the due date for filing your tax
return for the year in which you made them. This means
that even if you are under age 59
1
/2, the 10% additional
tax may not apply unless you meet one of the exceptions.
These distributions are explained in Pub. 590-A.
When Must You Withdraw
Assets? (Required Minimum
Distributions)
You can't keep funds in a traditional IRA (including SEP
and SIMPLE IRAs) indefinitely. Eventually, they must be
distributed. If there are no distributions, or if the distribu-
tions aren't large enough, you may have to pay an excise
tax on the amount not distributed as required. See Excess
Accumulations (Insufficient Distributions), later, under
What Acts Result in Penalties or Additional Taxes. The re-
quirements for distributing IRA funds differ, depending on
whether you are the IRA owner or the beneficiary of a de-
cedent's IRA.
Required minimum distribution (RMD). The amount
that must be distributed each year is referred to as the re-
quired minimum distribution.
Note. A qualified charitable distribution will count to-
wards your required minimum distribution. See Qualified
charitable distributions (QCDs) under Are Distributions
Taxable, later.
Distributions not eligible for rollover. Amounts that
must be distributed (required minimum distributions) dur-
ing a particular year aren't normally eligible for rollover
treatment.
IRA Owners
Required beginning date. If you are the owner of a tra-
ditional IRA, you must generally start receiving distribu-
tions from your IRA by April 1 of the year following the year
in which you reach age 72 (or age 73). April 1 of the year
following the year in which you reach age 72 (or age 73,
as applicable) is referred to as the “required beginning
date.
Note. Individuals who reach age 72 in tax years begin-
ning after December 31, 2022, may delay receiving their
required minimum distributions until April 1 of the year fol-
lowing the year in which they reach age 73.
See Your required beginning date, next, to determined
the applicable required beginning date that applies to you.
Your required beginning date. The date you must begin
receiving RMDs is determined by the date you reach age
72. See the following to determine your applicable re-
quired beginning date.
Age 72 after December 31, 2022. If you reach age
72 after December 31, 2022, you must begin receiving re-
quired minimum distributions by April 1 of the year follow-
ing the year you reach the age 73.
Age 72 in tax years 2020, 2021, or 2022. If you were
born after June 30, 1949, you must begin receiving re-
quired minimum distributions by April 1 of the year follow-
ing the year you reach age 72.
Age 70 ½ for tax years 2019 or earlier. If you were
born before July 1, 1949, you were required to begin re-
ceiving required minimum distributions by April 1 of the
year following the year you reach age 70 ½.
Distributions by the required beginning date. You
must receive at least a minimum amount for each year
starting on your required beginning date.
If an IRA owner dies after reaching age 72 (or age 73),
but before their required beginning date, no minimum dis-
tribution is required for that year because death occurred
before the required beginning date.
Even if you begin receiving distributions before
you reach age 72 (or age 73, if applicable), you
must begin calculating and receiving RMDs by
your required beginning date.
More than minimum received. If, in any year, you re-
ceive more than the required minimum distribution for that
year, you won't receive credit for the additional amount
when determining the required minimum distributions for
future years. This doesn't mean that you don't reduce your
IRA account balance. It means that if you receive more
than your required minimum distribution in 1 year, you
can't treat the excess (the amount that is more than the re-
quired minimum distribution) as part of your required mini-
mum distribution for any later year. However, any amount
distributed in the year you become age 72 (or age 73) will
be credited toward the amount that must be distributed by
April 1 of the following year.
Distributions after the required beginning date. The
required minimum distribution for any year after the year
you reach age 72 (or age 73) must be made by December
31 of that later year.

Distributions from individual retirement accounts. If
you are the owner of a traditional IRA that is an individual
retirement account, you or your trustee must figure the re-
quired minimum distribution for each year. See Figuring
the Owner's Required Minimum Distribution, later.
Distributions from individual retirement annuities. If
your traditional IRA is an individual retirement annuity,
special rules apply to figuring the required minimum distri-
bution. For more information on rules for annuities, see
Regulations section 1.401(a)(9)-6. These regulations can
be read in many libraries, and IRS offices, and online at
IRS.gov.
Change in marital status. For purposes of figuring your
required minimum distribution, your marital status is deter-
mined as of January 1 of each year. If your spouse is a
beneficiary of your IRA on January 1, they will remain a
beneficiary for the entire year even if you get divorced or
your spouse dies during the year. For purposes of deter-
mining your distribution period, a change in beneficiary is
effective in the year following the year of death or divorce.
Change of beneficiary. If your spouse is the sole ben-
eficiary of your IRA, and they die before you, your spouse
won't fail to be your sole beneficiary for the year they died
solely because someone other than your spouse is named
a beneficiary for the rest of that year. However, if you get
divorced during the year and change the beneficiary des-
ignation on the IRA during that same year, your former
spouse won't be treated as the sole beneficiary for that
year.
Figuring the Owner's Required Minimum
Distribution
Figure your required minimum distribution for each year by
dividing the IRA account balance (defined next) as of the
close of business on December 31 of the preceding year
by the applicable distribution period or life expectancy. Ta-
bles showing distribution periods and life expectancies are
found in Appendix B and are discussed later.
IRA account balance. The IRA account balance is the
amount in the IRA at the end of the year preceding the
year for which the required minimum distribution is being
figured.
Contributions. Contributions increase the account
balance in the year they are made. If a contribution for last
year isn't made until after December 31 of last year, it in-
creases the account balance for this year, but not for last
year. Disregard contributions made after December 31 of
last year in determining your required minimum distribu-
tion for this year.
Outstanding rollovers. The IRA account balance is
adjusted by outstanding rollovers that aren't in any ac-
count at the end of the preceding year.
For a rollover from a qualified plan or another IRA that
wasn't in any account at the end of the preceding year, in-
crease the account balance of the receiving IRA by the
rollover amount valued as of the date of receipt.
No recharacterizations of conversions made in
2018 or later. A conversion of a traditional IRA to a Roth
IRA, and a rollover from any other eligible retirement plan
to a Roth IRA, made in tax years beginning after Decem-
ber 31, 2017, cannot be recharacterized as having been
made to a traditional IRA.
Distributions. Distributions reduce the account bal-
ance in the year they are made. A distribution for last year
made after December 31 of last year reduces the account
balance for this year, but not for last year. Disregard distri-
butions made after December 31 of last year in determin-
ing your required minimum distribution for this year.
Distribution period. This is the number by which you di-
vide your account balance as of December 31 of last year
in order to calculate your required minimum distribution.
The period to use for 2024 is listed next to your age as of
your birthday in 2024 in Table III in Appendix B.
Distributions during your lifetime. Required minimum
distributions during your lifetime are based on a distribu-
tion period that is generally determined using Table III
(Uniform Lifetime) in Appendix B. However, if the sole ben-
eficiary of your IRA is your spouse who is more than 10
years younger than you, see Sole beneficiary spouse who
is more than 10 years younger below.
To figure the required minimum distribution for 2024, di-
vide your account balance at the end of 2023 by the distri-
bution period from the table. This is the distribution period
listed next to your age (as of your birthday in 2024) in Ta-
ble III in Appendix B, unless the sole beneficiary of your
IRA is your spouse who is more than 10 years younger
than you.
Example. You own a traditional IRA. Your account bal-
ance at the end of 2023 was $100,000. You are married
and your spouse, who is the sole beneficiary of your IRA,
is 6 years younger than you. You turn 75 years old in 2024.
You use Table III. Your distribution period is 24.6. Your re-
quired minimum distribution for 2024 would be $4,065
($100,000 ÷ 24.6).
Life expectancy. If you must use Table I, your life expect-
ancy for 2024 is listed in the table next to your age as of
your birthday in 2024. If you use Table II, your life expect-
ancy for 2024 is listed where the row or column containing
your age as of your birthday in 2024 intersects with the
row or column containing your spouse's age as of their
birthday in 2024. Both Table I and Table II are in Appendix
B.
Sole beneficiary spouse who is more than 10
years younger. If the sole beneficiary of your IRA is your
spouse and your spouse is more than 10 years younger
than you, use the life expectancy from Table II (Joint Life
and Last Survivor Expectancy) in Appendix B.
The life expectancy to use is the joint life and last survi-
vor expectancy listed where the row or column containing
your age as of your birthday in 2024 intersects with the
row or column containing your spouse's age as of their
birthday in 2024.

You figure your required minimum distribution for 2024
by dividing your account balance at the end of 2023 by the
life expectancy from Table II (Joint Life and Last Survivor
Expectancy) in Appendix B.
Example. You own a traditional IRA. Your account bal-
ance at the end of 2023 was $100,000. You are married
and your spouse, who is the sole beneficiary of your IRA,
is 11 years younger than you. You turn 75 in 2024 and
your spouse turns 64. You use Table II. Your joint life and
last survivor expectancy is 25.3. Your required minimum
distribution for 2024 would be $3,953 ($100,000 ÷ 25.3).
Distributions in the year of the owner's death. The re-
quired minimum distribution for the year of the owner's
death depends on whether the owner died before the re-
quired beginning date, defined earlier.
If the owner died before the required beginning date,
there is no required minimum distribution in the year of the
owner's death. For years after the year of the owner's
death, see Owner Died Before Required Beginning Date,
later, under IRA Beneficiaries.
If the owner died on or after the required beginning
date, the IRA beneficiaries are responsible for figuring and
distributing the owner's required minimum distribution in
the year of death. The owner's required minimum distribu-
tion for the year of death is generally based on Table III
(Uniform Lifetime) in Appendix B. However, if the sole ben-
eficiary of the IRA is the owner's spouse who is more than
10 years younger than the owner, use the life expectancy
from Table II (Joint Life and Last Survivor Expectancy).
Note. You figure the required minimum distribution for
the year in which an IRA owner dies as if the owner lived
for the entire year.
IRA Beneficiaries
The rules for determining required minimum distributions
for beneficiaries depend on whether:
The beneficiary is the surviving spouse.
The beneficiary is an eligible designated beneficiary
(defined later) other than the surviving spouse.
The beneficiary is an individual (other than an eligible
designated beneficiary).
The beneficiary isn't an individual (for example, the
beneficiary is the owner's estate). (But see Trust as
beneficiary, later, for a discussion about treating trust
beneficiaries as designated beneficiaries.)
The IRA owner died before the required beginning
date, or died on or after the required beginning date.
The following paragraphs explain the rules for required
minimum distributions and beneficiaries.
If distributions to the beneficiary from an inherited
traditional IRA are less than the required minimum
distribution for the year, discussed in this chapter
under When Must You Withdraw Assets? (Required Mini-
mum Distributions), you may have to pay an excise tax for
that year on the amount not distributed as required. For
CAUTION
!
details, see Excess Accumulations (Insufficient Distribu-
tions) under What Acts Result in Penalties or Additional
Taxes, later in this chapter.
Surviving spouse. If you are the surviving spouse who
is the sole beneficiary of your deceased spouse's IRA, you
may elect to be treated as the owner and not as the bene-
ficiary. If you elect to be treated as the owner, you deter-
mine the required minimum distribution (if any) as if you
were the owner beginning with the year you elect or are
deemed to be the owner. For details, see Inherited from
spouse under What if You Inherit an IRA, earlier in this
chapter.
Note. If you become the owner in the year your de-
ceased spouse died, don't determine the required mini-
mum distribution for that year using your life expectancy;
rather, you must take the deceased owner's required mini-
mum distribution for that year (to the extent it wasn't al-
ready distributed to the owner before their death).
You can never make a rollover contribution of a re-
quired minimum distribution. Any rollover contri-
bution of a required minimum distribution is sub-
ject to the 6% tax on excess contributions. See chapter 1
of Pub. 590-A for more information on the tax on excess
contributions.
For any year after the owner’s death, where a sur-
viving spouse is the sole designated beneficiary
of the account and they fail to take a required min-
imum distribution (if one is required) by December 31 un-
der the rules discussed below for beneficiaries, they will
be deemed the owner of the IRA. For details, see Inherited
from spouse under What if You Inherit an IRA, earlier in
this chapter.
Date the designated beneficiary is determined. Gen-
erally, the designated beneficiary is determined on Sep-
tember 30 of the calendar year following the calendar year
of the IRA owner's death. In order to be a designated ben-
eficiary, an individual must be a beneficiary as of the date
of death. Any person who was a beneficiary on the date of
the owner's death, but isn't a beneficiary on September 30
of the calendar year following the calendar year of the
owner's death (because, for example, they disclaimed en-
titlement or received their entire benefit), won't be taken
into account in determining the designated beneficiary. An
individual may be designated as a beneficiary either by
the terms of the plan or, if the plan permits, by affirmative
election by the employee specifying the beneficiary.
Note. If an individual who is a beneficiary as of the
owner's date of death dies before September 30 of the
year following the year of the owner's death without dis-
claiming entitlement to benefits, that individual, rather than
their successor beneficiary, continues to be treated as a
beneficiary for determining the distribution period.
For the exception to this rule, see Death of surviving
spouse prior to date distributions begin, later.

More than one beneficiary. If an IRA has more than one
beneficiary or a trust is named as beneficiary, see Miscel-
laneous Rules for Required Minimum Distributions, later.
Eligible designated beneficiaries. An IRA beneficiary
is an eligible designated beneficiary if the beneficiary is
the owner's surviving spouse, the owner's minor child, a
disabled individual, a chronically ill individual, or any other
individual who is not more than 10 years younger than the
IRA owner.
Death of a beneficiary. In general, the beneficiaries of a
deceased beneficiary must continue to take the required
minimum distributions after the deceased beneficiary's
death. However, the beneficiaries of a deceased benefi-
ciary don't calculate required minimum distributions using
their own life expectancies. Instead, the deceased benefi-
ciary's remaining interest must be distributed within 10
years after the beneficiary's death, or in some cases
within 10 years after the owner's death. See 10-year rule,
later.
Owner Died on or After Required Beginning
Date
If the owner died on or after their required beginning date
(defined earlier) and you are an eligible designated benefi-
ciary, base your required minimum distributions for years
after the year of the owner’s death on the longer of:
Your single life expectancy shown in Table I in Appen-
dix B; or
The owner's life expectancy.
If there is no designated beneficiary, use the owner's
life expectancy. See Table I (Single Life Expectancy), for
more information.
Surviving spouse is sole designated beneficiary. If
the owner died on or after their required beginning date
and their spouse is the sole designated beneficiary, the
distribution period is based on the longer of the spouse's
life expectancy or the distribution method used at the own-
er's date of death. However, see Special rules for surviv-
ing spouse and Owner Died Before Required Beginning
Date, for more information.
If you continue to be treated as a beneficiary of the
owner and the owner died before the owner's required be-
ginning date, and you were not more than 10 years
younger than your spouse, you may use the life expect-
ancy you find in Table III (Uniform Lifetime Table) to deter-
mine your RMD.
Designated beneficiary who is not an eligible desig-
nated beneficiary. Distributions to a designated benefi-
ciary who is not an eligible designated beneficiary must
be completed within 10 years of the death of the owner.
See 10-year rule, later.
Owner Died Before Required Beginning
Date
If the owner died before their required beginning date (de-
fined earlier) and you are an eligible designated benefi-
ciary (such as and including a surviving spouse who is a
sole survivor), you must generally base your required min-
imum distributions for years after the year of the owner's
death using your single life expectancy shown in Table I.
However, if you are the surviving spouse, you may have to
use Table III if you are in one of the following categories.
You are not the sole designated beneficiary.
You are the sole designated beneficiary but are not
more than 10 years younger than the IRA owner.
For each subsequent calendar year, the applicable dis-
tribution period is reduced by one for each calendar year
that has elapsed after the calendar year following the em-
ployee's death.
However, there are situations where a beneficiary may
be required to take the entire account balance by the end
of the 10th year following the year of the owner's death.
See 10-year rule, later.
If the owner’s beneficiary isn’t an individual (for exam-
ple, if the beneficiary is the owner’s estate), the 5-year
rule, discussed later, applies.
Special rules for surviving spouse. If the owner died
before his or her required beginning date and the surviv-
ing spouse is the sole designated beneficiary, that spouse
can elect to be treated as the IRA owner.
Year of first required distribution. If the owner died
before the year in which they reached age 72 (age 73 or
age 70
1
/2 if the owner was born before July 1, 1949), and
the surviving spouse elects to be treated as the IRA
owner, distributions to the spouse don't need to begin until
the year in which the owner would have reached age 72
(age 73 or age 70½, if applicable).
Death of surviving spouse prior to date distribu-
tions begin. If the surviving spouse dies before Decem-
ber 31 of the year they must begin receiving required mini-
mum distributions, the surviving spouse will be treated as
if they were the owner of the IRA.
This rule doesn't apply to the surviving spouse of a sur-
viving spouse.
Example 1. Your spouse died in 2020, at age 65. You
are the sole designated beneficiary of your spouse’s tradi-
tional IRA. You don't need to take any required minimum
distribution until December 31 of 2028, the year your
spouse would have reached age 73. If you die prior to that
date, you will be treated as the owner of the IRA for purpo-
ses of determining the required distributions to your bene-
ficiaries. For example, if you die in 2023, your beneficiaries
won't have any required minimum distribution for 2023
Publication 590-B (2023) Chapter 1 Traditional IRAs 9

(because you, treated as the owner, died prior to your re-
quired beginning date). They must start taking distribu-
tions under the general rules for an owner who died prior
to the required beginning date.
Example 2. The facts are the same as in Example 1,
except your sole beneficiary upon your death in 2023 is
your surviving spouse. Your surviving spouse can't wait
until the year you would have turned age 73 to take distri-
butions using their life expectancy. Also, if your surviving
spouse dies prior to the date they are required to take a
distribution, they aren’t treated as the owner of the ac-
count. Just like any other individual beneficiary of an
owner who dies before the required beginning date, your
surviving spouse must start taking distributions in 2024
based on their life expectancy (or elect to fully distribute
the account under the 10-year rule by the end of 2033).
5-year rule. The 5-year rule requires the IRA benefi-
ciaries who are not taking life expectancy payments to
withdraw the entire balance of the IRA by December 31 of
the year containing the fifth anniversary of the owner’s
death. For example, if the owner died in 2023, the benefi-
ciary would have to fully distribute the IRA by December
31, 2028.
The 5-year rule applies to beneficiaries who are not
designated beneficiaries if the owner died before their re-
quired beginning date (such as an estate or trust (but see
Trust as beneficiary, later)). Before 2020, it also applied to
designated beneficiaries who are not taking life expect-
ancy payments. If the owner died after 2019 and the bene-
ficiary is an individual who is a designated beneficiary, see
the 10-year rule, for more information.
10-year rule. The 10-year rule requires the IRA benefi-
ciaries who are not taking life expectancy payments to
withdraw the entire balance of the IRA by December 31 of
the year containing the 10th anniversary of the owner’s
death. For example, if the owner died in 2023, the benefi-
ciary would have to fully distribute the IRA by December
31, 2033.
The 10-year rule applies if (1) the beneficiary is an eligi-
ble designated beneficiary who elects the 10-year rule, if
the owner died before reaching their required beginning
date; or (2) the beneficiary is a designated beneficiary
who is not an eligible designated beneficiary, regardless
of whether the owner died before reaching their required
beginning date.
For a beneficiary receiving life expectancy payments
who is either an eligible designated beneficiary or a minor
child, the 10-year rule also applies to the remaining
amounts in the IRA upon the death of the eligible designa-
ted beneficiary or upon the minor child beneficiary reach-
ing the age of majority, but in either of those cases, the
10-year period ends on December 31 of the year contain-
ing the 10th anniversary of the eligible designated benefi-
ciary's death or the child's attainment of majority.
Payment under the 10-year rule. If the IRA owner
dies before the required beginning date and the 10-year
rule applies, no distribution is required for any year before
the 10th year.
Individual designated beneficiaries. The terms of
most IRAs require individual designated beneficiaries,
who are eligible designated beneficiaries, to take required
minimum distributions using the life expectancy rules (ex-
plained later) unless such beneficiaries elect to take distri-
butions using the 10-year rule.
The deadline for making this election is the earlier of
December 31 of the year the beneficiary must take the
first required distribution, using their life expectancy or De-
cember 31 of the 10th anniversary for the 10-year rule.
If the individual designated beneficiary is not an eligible
designated beneficiary, the beneficiary is required to fully
distribute the IRA by the 10th anniversary of the owner's
death under the 10-year rule.
Review the IRA plan documents or consult with
the IRA custodian or trustee for specifics on the 5-
or 10-year rule provisions, where applicable, of
any particular IRA.
If the 5-year rule applies, the amount remaining in
the IRA, if any, after December 31 of the year con-
taining the fifth anniversary of the owner's death is
subject to the excise tax detailed in Excess Accumulations
(Insufficient Distributions), later.
If the 10-year rule applies, the amount remaining
in the IRA, if any, after December 31 of the year
containing the 10th anniversary of the owner's
death is subject to the excise tax detailed in Excess Accu-
mulations (Insufficient Distributions), later.
Figuring the Beneficiary's RMD
How you figure the required minimum distribution de-
pends on whether the beneficiary is an individual or some
other entity, such as a trust or estate.
Beneficiary an individual. If the beneficiary is an indi-
vidual, figure the required minimum distribution for 2024
as follows.
Life expectancy payments. Divide the account bal-
ance at the end of 2023 by the appropriate life expectancy
from Table I (Single Life Expectancy) in Appendix B. De-
termine the appropriate life expectancy as follows.
Spouse as sole designated beneficiary. Several
special rules affect figuring your RMD if you, as a spouse,
are the sole designated beneficiary of the IRA owner.
If you are a surviving spouse of the IRA owner and the
sole designated beneficiary on that IRA, you can elect to
treat the inherited IRA as your own. See Special rules for
surviving spouse, earlier, for more information.
If you continue to be treated as a beneficiary of the
owner and the owner died before the owner's required be-
ginning date, and you were not more than 10 years
younger than your spouse, you may use the life expect-
ancy you find in Table III (Uniform Lifetime Table) to deter-
mine your RMD.
Whether the IRA owner has begun receiving RMDs
also affects how you figure your RMDs. See Owner Died

See Which Table Do You Use To Determine Your Re-

You can't make a rollover contribution of your re-
quired minimum distributions. Such contribution is
subject to the 6% tax on excess contributions.
See chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A for more information on the
tax on excess contributions.
Other designated beneficiary. Several special rules af-
fect figuring your RMD if you are a nonspouse designated
beneficiary of the IRA owner.
As with the spousal beneficiary discussed earlier,
whether the IRA owner has begun receiving RMDs also
affect how you figure your RMDs. See Owner Died on or
After Required Beginning Date and Owner Died Before
Required Beginning Date, earlier.
See Which Table Do You Use To Determine Your Re-
quired Minimum Distribution, later, for information on
which table to use for figuring your RMD. For more infor-
mation, also see Individual designated beneficiaries, ear-
lier.
Beneficiary not an individual. See the 5-year rule if
the owner died before the owner's required beginning date
and the beneficiary is not an individual (such as an estate
or trust (but see Trust as beneficiary, later).
Which Table Do You Use To Determine
Your Required Minimum Distribution?
There are three different life expectancy tables. The tables
are found in Appendix B of this publication. You use only
one of them to determine your required minimum distribu-
tion for each traditional IRA. Determine which one to use
as follows.
Reminder. In using the tables for lifetime distributions,
marital status is determined as of January 1 each year. Di-
vorce or death after January 1 is generally disregarded
until the next year.
The change in beneficiary will take effect in the year af-
ter the distribution calendar year following the year that in-
cludes the spouse's death or divorce.
Table I (Single Life Expectancy). Use Table I for years
after the year of the owner’s death if you are the owner’s
eligible designated beneficiary or their designated spousal
beneficiary. However, see Surviving spouse is sole desig-
nated beneficiary under Owner Died on or After Required
Beginning Date, for more information.
If you are the owner’s eligible designated beneficiary,
find your life expectancy in the year following the owner’s
death. Use your age as of your birthday in the year distri-
butions must begin. This is usually the calendar year im-
mediately following the calendar year of the owner's
death. After the first distribution year, reduce your life ex-
pectancy by one for each subsequent year.
CAUTION
!
If you are the owner’s spousal beneficiary, find your life
expectancy based on your birthday for each distribution
calendar year after the owner’s death. If you are the desig-
nated spousal beneficiary, you can wait until the year the
IRA owner would have reached age 73.
If there is no designated beneficiary, use the life expect-
ancy based on the owner’s age as of the owner’s birthday
in the calendar year of their death. The life expectancy in
the years after the owner’s death is reduced by one for
each calendar year that has elapsed after the calendar
year of the owner’s death.
Example. You are an eligible designated beneficiary
figuring your first required minimum distribution. Distribu-
tions must begin in 2024. You become age 57 in 2024.
You use Table I. Your distribution period for 2024 is 29.8.
Owner's life expectancy. You use the owner’s life ex-
pectancy to calculate required minimum distributions
when the owner dies on or after the required beginning
date and there is no designated beneficiary as of Septem-
ber 30 of the year following the year of the owner’s death.
In this case, use the owner’s life expectancy for his or
her age as of the owner’s birthday in the year of death and
reduce it by 1 for each subsequent year. If the beneficiary
is older than the deceased IRA owner use the owner’s life
expectancy in the year of death (reduced by 1 for each
subsequent year).
Table II (Joint Life and Last Survivor Expectancy).
Use Table II if you are the IRA owner and your spouse is
both your sole designated beneficiary and more than 10
years younger than you.
For your first distribution by the required beginning
date, use your age and the age of your designated benefi-
ciary as of your birthdays in the year you become age 73.
Your combined life expectancy is at the intersection of
your ages.
If you are figuring your required minimum distribution
for 2024, use your ages as of your birthdays in 2024. For
each subsequent year, use your and your spouse's ages
as of your birthdays in the subsequent year.
Note. Use this table in the year of the owner's death if
the owner died after the required beginning date and this
is the table that would have been used had they not died.
Table III (Uniform Lifetime). Use Table III if you are the
IRA owner and your spouse isn’t the sole designated ben-
eficiary or if your spouse is the sole designated benefi-
ciary of your IRA and not more than 10 years younger than
you.
Use your age as of your birthday in the year you be-
come age 73 to meet your first distribution by your re-
quired beginning date.
If you are figuring your required minimum distribution
for 2024, use your age as of your birthday in 2024. For
each subsequent year, use your age as of your birthday in
the subsequent year.

No table. Don't use any of the tables if the owner died
before their required beginning date and either the 5-year
rule or the 10-year rule (discussed earlier) applies.
Miscellaneous Rules for Required
Minimum Distributions
Revised life expectancy tables for 2022. New life ex-
pectancy tables apply to distribution calendar years begin-
ning on or after January 1, 2022.
Redetermination of initial life expectancies using
new tables. If an IRA owner died before January 1, 2022,
the distribution period that applies for a calendar year fol-
lowing the calendar year of the owner’s death is equal to a
single life expectancy calculated as of the calendar year of
the owner’s death, reduced by 1 for each subsequent
year, and is reset using the new table.
In order to do this, find your life expectancy based on
your age in the year following the owner’s death on Table I
and reduce that number by 1 for each year since the year
of the owner’s death.
The requirement to reset the initial life expectancy also
applies to an owner’s surviving spouse who dies before
January 1, 2022.
Example. Your father died in 2019 at the age of 80 and
you were the designated beneficiary. You started taking
required minimum distributions from the inherited IRA in
2020 when you were age 55, using a life expectancy of
29.6 and reducing that number by 1 each year so that in
2024 (4 years later) the required minimum distribution
would be determined by dividing the account balance by
25.6 (29.6 4). However, under the new life expectancy
tables, the life expectancy for a 55-year-old is 31.6; there-
fore, you calculate your required minimum distribution for
2024 by dividing the account balance by 27.6 (31.6 – 4).
Installments allowed. The yearly required minimum dis-
tribution can be taken in a series of installments (monthly,
quarterly, etc.) as long as the total distributions for the year
are at least as much as the minimum required amount.
More than one IRA. If you are the owner of more than
one traditional IRA, you must determine a separate re-
quired minimum distribution for each IRA. However, you
can total these minimum amounts and take the total from
any one or more of the IRAs. The same rule applies if you
are a designated beneficiary of more than one IRA that
was owned by a single decedent.
More than minimum received. If, in any year, you re-
ceive more than the required minimum amount for that
year, you won't receive credit for the additional amount
when determining the minimum required amounts for fu-
ture years. This doesn't mean that you don't reduce your
IRA account balance. It means that if you receive more
than your required minimum distribution in 1 year, you
can't treat the excess (the amount that is more than the re-
quired minimum distribution) as part of your required mini-
mum distribution for any later year. However, any amount
distributed in your age 72 (or age 73) year will be credited
toward the amount that must be distributed by April 1 of
the following year.
Example. Justin became 72 on December 15, 2023.
Justin's IRA account balance on December 31, 2022, was
$38,400. He figured his required minimum distribution for
2023 was $1,500 ($38,400 ÷ 25.6 (the distribution period
for age 72 per the life expectancy table that applied for the
year prior to 2024)). By December 31, 2023, he had ac-
tually received distributions totaling $3,600, $2,100 more
than was required. Justin can’t use that $2,100 to reduce
the amount he is required to withdraw for 2024. Justin's
reduced IRA account balance on December 31, 2023,
was $34,800. Justin figured his required minimum distri-
bution for 2024 is $1,313 ($34,800 ÷ 26.5 (the distribution
period for age 73 per Table III)). During 2024, he must re-
ceive distributions of at least that amount.
Multiple individual beneficiaries. If, as of September
30 of the year following the year in which the owner dies,
there is more than one beneficiary, the beneficiary with the
shortest life expectancy will be the designated beneficiary
if both of the following apply.
All of the beneficiaries are individuals.
The account or benefit hasn't been divided into sepa-
rate accounts or shares for each beneficiary.
Separate accounts. A single IRA can be split into
separate accounts or shares for each beneficiary. These
separate accounts or shares can be established at any
time, either before or after the owner's required beginning
date. Generally, these separate accounts or shares are
combined for purposes of determining the required mini-
mum distribution. However, these separate accounts or
shares won't be combined for required minimum distribu-
tion purposes after the death of the IRA owner if the sepa-
rate accounts or shares are established by the end of the
year following the year of the IRA owner's death.
The separate account rules can't be used by beneficia-
ries of a trust unless the trust is an applicable multi-benefi-
ciary trust.
Trust as beneficiary. A trust can't be a designated bene-
ficiary even if it is a named beneficiary. However, the ben-
eficiaries of a trust will be treated as having been designa-
ted beneficiaries for purposes of determining required
minimum distributions after the owner’s death (or, after the
death of the owner’s surviving spouse described in Death
of surviving spouse prior to date distributions begin, ear-
lier) if all of the following are true.
1. The trust is a valid trust under state law, or would be
but for the fact that there is no corpus.
2. The trust is irrevocable or became, by its terms, irrev-
ocable upon the owner's death.

3. The beneficiaries of the trust who are beneficiaries
with respect to the trust's interest in the owner's
benefit are identifiable from the trust instrument.
4. The trustee of the trust provides the IRA custodian or
trustee with the documentation required by that custo-
dian or trustee. The trustee of the trust should contact
the IRA custodian or trustee for details on the docu-
mentation required for a specific plan.
The deadline for the trustee to provide the beneficiary
documentation to the IRA custodian or trustee is October
31 of the year following the year of the owner's death.
Trust beneficiary is another trust. If the beneficiary
of the trust (which is the beneficiary of the IRA) is another
trust and both trusts meet the above requirements, the
beneficiaries of the other trust will be treated as having
been designated as beneficiaries for purposes of deter-
mining the distribution period.
Note. The separate account rules, discussed earlier,
can't be used by beneficiaries of a trust unless the trust is
an applicable multi-beneficiary trust.
Applicable multi-beneficiary trusts. An applicable
multi-beneficiary trust is a trust (1) which has more than
one beneficiary; (2) all of the beneficiaries of which are
treated as designated beneficiaries for purposes of deter-
mining the distribution period pursuant to section 401(a)
(9); and (3) at least one of the beneficiaries of which is an
eligible designated beneficiary who is either disabled or
chronically ill. There are two types of applicable multi-ben-
eficiary trusts:
a trust that is to be divided immediately upon the
death of the employee into separate trusts for each
beneficiary, in which case the separate account rules
apply to each portion of the trust; and
a trust that provides that no beneficiary (other than an
eligible designated beneficiary who is disabled or
chronically ill) has any right to the employee’s interest
in the plan until the death of all of those disabled or
chronically ill eligible designated beneficiaries with re-
spect to the trust, in which case the separate account
rules do not apply, but the rule permitting payments
over the life expectancy of a beneficiary applies to the
distribution of the employee’s interest regardless of
whether there are other beneficiaries who are not eligi-
ble designated beneficiaries.
You may want to contact a tax advisor to comply
with this complicated area of the tax law.
Annuity distributions from an insurance company.
Special rules apply if you receive distributions from your
traditional IRA as an annuity purchased from an insurance
company. See Regulations sections 1.401(a)(9)-6 and
54.4974-2. These regulations can be found in many libra-
ries, and IRS offices, and online at IRS.gov.
TIP
Are Distributions Taxable?
In general, distributions from a traditional IRA are taxable
in the year you receive them.
Failed financial institutions. Distributions from a tradi-
tional IRA are taxable in the year you receive them even if
they are made without your consent by a state agency as
receiver of an insolvent savings institution. This means
you must include such distributions in your gross income
unless you roll them over.
Exceptions. Exceptions to distributions from traditional
IRAs being taxable in the year you receive them are:
Rollovers (see chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A);
Qualified charitable distributions, discussed later;
Tax-free withdrawals of contributions (see chapter 1 of
Pub. 590-A); and
The return of nondeductible contributions, discussed
later under Distributions Fully or Partly Taxable.
Although a conversion of a traditional IRA is con-
sidered a rollover for Roth IRA purposes, it isn't an
exception to the rule that distributions from a tradi-
tional IRA are taxable in the year you receive them. Con-
version distributions are includible in your gross income
subject to this rule and the special rules for conversions
explained in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A.
Qualified charitable distributions (QCDs). A QCD is
generally a nontaxable distribution made directly by the
trustee of your IRA (other than a SEP or SIMPLE IRA) to
an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contribu-
tions. You must be at least age 70
1
/2 when the distribution
was made. Also, you must have the same type of acknowl-
edgment of your contribution that you would need to claim
a deduction for a charitable contribution. See Substantia-
tion Requirements in Pub. 526.
The maximum annual exclusion for QCDs is $100,000.
Any QCD in excess of the $100,000 exclusion limit is in-
cluded in income as any other distribution. If you file a joint
return, your spouse can also have a QCD and exclude up
to $100,000. The amount of the QCD is limited to the
amount of the distribution that would otherwise be inclu-
ded in income. If your IRA includes nondeductible contri-
butions, the distribution is first considered to be paid out of
otherwise taxable income.
You can't claim a charitable contribution deduc-
tion for any QCD not included in your income.
Qualified charitable distribution one-time election.
Beginning in tax years beginning after December 29,
2022, you can elect to make a one-time distribution of up
to $50,000 from an individual retirement account to chari-
ties through a charitable remainder annuity trust, a charita-
ble remainder unitrust, or a charitable gift annuity but only
if each is funded only by qualified charitable distributions.

In the case of the charitable gift annuity, the annuity
must begin making fixed payments of 5% or greater not
later than 1 year from the date of funding.
Also, for tax years beginning after 2023, this $50,000
one-time election amount and the $100,000 annual IRA
charitable distribution limit will be adjusted for inflation. For
more information, see Qualified charitable distributions
(QCDs).
A QCD will count towards your required minimum
distribution, discussed earlier.
Example. On December 23, 2023, Amy, age 75, direc-
ted the trustee of her IRA to make a distribution of $25,000
directly to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization (a charitable
organization eligible to receive tax-deductible contribu-
tions). The total value of Amy's IRA is $30,000 and con-
sists of $20,000 of deductible contributions and earnings
and $10,000 of nondeductible contributions (basis). Be-
cause Amy is at least age 70
1
/2 and the distribution is
made directly by the trustee to a qualified organization, the
part of the distribution that would otherwise be includible
in Amy's income ($20,000) is a QCD.
In this case, Amy has made a QCD of $20,000 (her de-
ductible contributions and earnings). Because Amy made
a distribution of nondeductible contributions from her IRA,
she must file Form 8606 with her return. Amy reports the
total distribution ($25,000) on line 4a of Form 1040-SR.
She completes Form 8606 to determine the amount to en-
ter on line 4b of Form 1040-SR and the remaining basis in
her IRA. Amy enters -0- on line 4b. This is Amy's only IRA
and she took no other distributions in 2023. She also en-
ters “QCD” next to line 4b to indicate a qualified charitable
distribution.
After the distribution, her basis in her IRA is $5,000. If
Amy itemizes deductions and files Schedule A (Form
1040) with Form 1040-SR, the $5,000 portion of the distri-
bution attributable to the nondeductible contributions can
be deducted as a charitable contribution, subject to adjus-
ted gross income (AGI) limits. She can't take the charita-
ble contribution deduction for the $20,000 portion of the
distribution that wasn't included in her income.
Offset of QCDs by amounts contributed after age
70
1
/2. Beginning in tax years after December 31, 2019,
the amount of QCDs that you can exclude from income is
TIP
reduced by the excess of the aggregate amount of IRA
contributions you deducted for the taxable year and any
prior year that you were age 70
1
/2 or older over the amount
of such IRA contributions that were used to reduce the ex-
cludable amount of QCDs in all earlier years. See the
Qualified Charitable Deduction Adjustment Worksheet in
Appendix D.
Example. Jim became age 70
1
/2 in 2021 and deduc-
ted $5,000 for contributions he made in 2022 and 2023
but makes no contribution for 2024. Jim makes no quali-
fied charitable distributions for 2022 and makes qualified
charitable distributions of $6,000 for 2023 and $6,500 for
2024.
He determines he has no excludable qualified charita-
ble distribution for 2023 as figured on his 2023 QCD
Worksheet. His 2023 qualified charitable distribution is re-
duced by the aggregate amount of $10,000 of the contri-
butions he deducted in 2022 and 2023, which reduces his
excludable qualified charitable distribution to a negative
amount of $4,000.
Jim decides to make a qualified charitable distribution
of $6,500 for 2024. Jim completes his 2024 QCD work-
sheet by entering the amount of the remainder of the ag-
gregate amount of the contributions he deducted in 2022
and 2023 ($4,000) on line 1. This amount is figured on his
2023 QCD worksheet and is entered on line 1 of his 2024
QCD worksheet. Jim figures his excludable qualified chari-
table distribution of $2,500 on his 2024 QCD worksheet
($6,500 – $4,000 = $2,500).
One-time qualified Health Savings Account (HSA)
funding distribution. You may be able to make a quali-
fied HSA funding distribution from your traditional IRA or
Roth IRA to your HSA. You can't make this distribution
from an ongoing SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA. For this pur-
pose, a SEP IRA or SIMPLE IRA is ongoing if an employer
contribution is made for the plan year ending with or within
your tax year in which the distribution would be made. The
distribution must be less than or equal to your maximum
annual HSA contribution.
This distribution must be made directly by the trustee of
the IRA to the trustee of the HSA. The distribution isn't in-
cluded in your income, isn't deductible, and reduces the
amount that can be contributed to your HSA. You must
make the distribution by the end of the year; the special

rule allowing contributions to your HSA for the previous
year if made by your tax return filing deadline doesn't ap-
ply. The qualified HSA funding distribution is reported on
Form 8889 for the year in which the distribution is made.
One-time transfer. Generally, only one qualified HSA
funding distribution is allowed during your lifetime. If you
own two or more IRAs, and want to use amounts in multi-
ple IRAs to make a qualified HSA funding distribution, you
must first make an IRA-to-IRA transfer of the amounts to
be distributed into a single IRA, and then make the
one-time qualified HSA funding distribution from that IRA.
Testing period rules apply. If at any time during the
testing period you cease to meet all requirements to be an
eligible individual, the amount of the qualified HSA funding
distribution is included in your gross income. The qualified
HSA funding distribution is included in gross income in the
tax year you first fail to be an eligible individual. This
amount is subject to the 10% additional tax (unless the
failure is due to disability or death).
More information. See Pub. 969 for additional infor-
mation about this distribution.
Ordinary income. Distributions from traditional IRAs that
you include in income are taxed as ordinary income.
No special treatment. In figuring your tax, you can't use
the 10-year tax option or capital gain treatment that ap-
plies to lump-sum distributions from qualified retirement
plans.
If you were affected by a qualified disaster, see
chapter 3.
Distributions Fully or Partly Taxable
Distributions from your traditional IRA may be fully or
partly taxable, depending on whether your IRA includes
any nondeductible contributions.
Fully taxable. If only deductible contributions were made
to your traditional IRA (or IRAs, if you have more than
one), you have no basis in your IRA. Because you have no
basis in your IRA, any distributions are fully taxable when
TIP
received. See
Reporting and Withholding Requirements
for Taxable Amounts, later.
Partly taxable. If you made nondeductible contributions
or rolled over any after-tax amounts to any of your tradi-
tional IRAs, you have a cost basis (investment in the con-
tract) equal to the amount of those contributions. These
nondeductible contributions aren't taxed when they are
distributed to you. They are a return of your investment in
your IRA.
Only the part of the distribution that represents nonde-
ductible contributions and rolled over after-tax amounts
(your cost basis) is tax free. If nondeductible contributions
have been made or after-tax amounts have been rolled
over to your IRA, distributions consist partly of nondeducti-
ble contributions (basis) and partly of deductible contribu-
tions, earnings, and gains (if there are any). Until all of
your basis has been distributed, each distribution is partly
nontaxable and partly taxable.
Form 8606. You must complete Form 8606, and attach it
to your return, if you receive a distribution from a tradi-
tional IRA and have ever made nondeductible contribu-
tions or rolled over after-tax amounts to any of your tradi-
tional IRAs. Using the form, you will figure the nontaxable
distributions for 2023, and your total IRA basis for 2023
and earlier years. See the illustrated Forms 8606 in this
chapter.
Note. If you are required to file Form 8606, but you
aren't required to file an income tax return, you must still
file Form 8606. Complete Form 8606, sign it, and send it
to the IRS at the time and place you would otherwise file
an income tax return.
Figuring the Nontaxable and Taxable
Amounts
If your traditional IRA includes nondeductible contributions
and you received a distribution from it in 2023, you must
use Form 8606 to figure how much of your 2023 IRA distri-
bution is tax free.

Contribution and distribution in the same year. If you
received a distribution in 2023 from a traditional IRA and
you also made contributions to a traditional IRA for 2023
that may not be fully deductible because of the income
limits, you can use Worksheet 1-1 to figure how much of
your 2023 IRA distribution is tax free and how much is tax-
able. Then, you can figure the amount of nondeductible
contributions to report on Form 8606. Follow the instruc-
tions under Reporting your nontaxable distribution on
Form 8606 next to figure your remaining basis after the
distribution.
Reporting your nontaxable distribution on Form
8606. To report your nontaxable distribution and to figure
the remaining basis in your traditional IRA after distribu-
tions, you must complete Worksheet 1-1 before complet-
ing Form 8606. Then, follow these steps to complete Form
8606.
1. Use Worksheet 1-2 in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A, or the
IRA Deduction Worksheet in the Form 1040 or
1040-NR instructions to figure your deductible contri-
butions to traditional IRAs to report on Schedule 1
(Form 1040), line 20.
2. After you complete Worksheet 1-2 in chapter 1 of Pub.
590-A or the IRA Deduction Worksheet in the form in-
structions, enter your nondeductible contributions to
traditional IRAs on line 1 of Form 8606.
3. Complete lines 2 through 5 of Form 8606.
4. If line 5 of Form 8606 is less than line 8 of Worksheet
1-1, complete lines 6 through 15c of Form 8606 and
stop here.
5. If line 5 of Form 8606 is equal to or greater than line 8
of Worksheet 1-1, follow instructions 6 and 7 next.
Don't complete lines 6 through 12 of Form 8606.
6. Enter the amount from line 8 of Worksheet 1-1 on
lines 13 and 17 of Form 8606.
7. Complete line 14 of Form 8606.
8. Enter the amount from line 9 of Worksheet 1-1 (or, if
you entered an amount on line 11, the amount from
that line) on line 15a of Form 8606.
Example. Rose Green has made the following contri-
butions to her traditional IRAs.
Year Deductible Nondeductible
2016 2,000 -0-
2017 2,000 -0-
2018 2,000 -0-
2019 1,000 -0-
2020 1,000 -0-
2021 1,000 -0-
2022 700 300
Totals $9,700 $300
Rose needs to complete Worksheet 1-1 to determine if
her IRA deduction for 2023 will be reduced or eliminated.
In 2023, she makes a $2,000 contribution that may be
partly nondeductible. She also receives a distribution of
$5,000 for conversion to a Roth IRA. She completed the
conversion before December 31, 2023, and didn’t rechar-
acterize any contributions. At the end of 2023, the fair
market values of her accounts, including earnings, total
$20,000. She didn't receive any tax-free distributions in
earlier years. The amount she includes in income for 2023
is figured on Worksheet 1-1.
The illustrated Form 8606 for Rose shows the informa-
tion required when you need to use Worksheet 1-1 to fig-
ure your nontaxable distribution. Assume that the $500
entered on Form 8606, line 1, is the amount Rose figured
using instructions 1 and 2 given earlier under Reporting
your nontaxable distribution on Form 8606.

Other Special IRA Distribution
Situations
Two other special IRA distribution situations are discussed
next.
Distribution of an annuity contract from your IRA ac-
count. You can tell the trustee or custodian of your tradi-
tional IRA account to use the amount in the account to buy
an annuity contract for you. You aren't taxed when you re-
ceive the annuity contract (unless the annuity contract is
being converted to an annuity held by a Roth IRA). You
are taxed when you start receiving payments under that
annuity contract.
Tax treatment. If only deductible contributions were
made to your traditional IRA since it was opened (this in-
cludes all your traditional IRAs, if you have more than
one), the annuity payments are fully taxable.
If any of your traditional IRAs include both deductible
and nondeductible contributions, the annuity payments
are taxed as explained earlier under Distributions Fully or
Partly Taxable.
Cashing in retirement bonds. When you cash in retire-
ment bonds, you are taxed on the entire amount you re-
ceive. If you reach age 70
1
/2 and you have not yet cashed
in your retirement bonds, you should include the entire
value of the bonds in your income in the year in which you
turn 70
1
/2. The value of the bonds is the amount you would
have received if you had cashed them in at the end of that
year. When you later cash in the bonds, you won't be
taxed again.
Reporting and Withholding
Requirements for Taxable Amounts
If you receive a distribution from your traditional IRA, you
will receive Form 1099-R, or a similar statement. IRA dis-
tributions are shown in boxes 1 and 2a of Form 1099-R. A
number or letter code in box 7 tells you what type of distri-
bution you received from your IRA.
Number codes. Some of the number codes are ex-
plained below. All of the codes are explained in the in-
structions for recipients on Form 1099-R.
1—Early distribution, no known exception (in most ca-
ses, under age 59½).
2—Early distribution, exception applies (under age
59½).
3—Disability.
4—Death.
5—Prohibited transaction.
7—Normal distribution.
8—Excess contributions plus earnings/
excess deferrals (and/or earnings)
taxable in 2023.
If code 1, 5, or 8 appears on your Form 1099-R,
you are probably subject to a penalty or additional
tax. If code 1 appears, see Early Distributions,
later. If code 5 appears, see Prohibited Transactions, later.
If code 8 appears, see Excess Contributions in chapter 1
of Pub. 590-A.
Letter codes. Some of the letter codes are explained
below. All of the codes are explained in the instructions for
recipients on Form 1099-R.
B—Designated Roth account distribution.
G—Direct rollover of a distribution to a qualified plan, a
section 403(b) plan, a governmental section 457(b)
plan, or an IRA.
H—Direct rollover of a designated Roth account distri-
bution to a Roth IRA.
J—Early distribution from a Roth IRA, no known ex-
ception (in most cases, under age 59½).
N—Recharacterized IRA contribution made for 2023
and recharacterized in 2023.
P—Excess contributions plus earnings/
excess deferrals (and/or earnings) taxable in 2022.
Q—Qualified distribution from a Roth IRA.
R—Recharacterized IRA contribution made for 2022
and recharacterized in 2023.
S—Early distribution from a SIMPLE IRA in the first
2 years, no known exception (under age 59½).
T—Roth IRA distribution, exception applies.
If the distribution shown on Form 1099-R is from your
IRA, SEP IRA, or SIMPLE IRA, the small box in box 7 (la-
beled IRA/SEP/SIMPLE) should be marked with an “X.
If code J, P, or S appears on your Form 1099-R,
you are probably subject to a penalty or additional
tax. If code J appears, see Early Distributions,
later. If code P appears, see Excess Contributions in
chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A. If code S appears, see Distribu-
tions (Withdrawals) in chapter 3 of Pub. 560.
Withholding. Federal income tax is withheld from distri-
butions from traditional IRAs unless you choose not to
have tax withheld.
If you are receiving periodic payments (payments made
in installments at regular intervals over a period of more
than 1 year) use Form W-4P to have tax withheld from
your IRA. The amount of tax withheld from an annuity or a
similar periodic payment is based on your marital status
and any adjustments you claim on your Form W-4P.
Complete Form W-4R to have taxes withheld from your
nonperiodic payments or eligible rollover distribution from
your IRA. Generally, tax will be withheld at a 10% rate on
nonperiodic payments.
IRA distributions delivered outside the United
States. In general, if you are a U.S. citizen or resident
alien and your home address is outside the United States
or its territories, you can't choose exemption from
withholding on distributions from your traditional IRA.

To choose exemption from withholding, you must certify
to the payer under penalties of perjury that you aren't a
U.S. citizen, a resident alien of the United States, or a
tax-avoidance expatriate.
Even if this election is made, the payer must withhold
tax at the rates prescribed for nonresident aliens.
More information. For more information on withhold-
ing on pensions and annuities, see Pensions and Annui-
ties in chapter 1 of Pub. 505. For more information on
withholding on nonresident aliens and foreign entities, see
Pensions, Annuities, and Alimony under Withholding on
Specific Income in Pub. 515.
Reporting taxable distributions on your return. Re-
port fully taxable distributions, including early distributions,
on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 4b (no entry is
required on line 4a). If only part of the distribution is taxa-
ble, enter the total amount on Form 1040, 1040-SR, or
1040-NR, line 4a, and enter the taxable part on Form
1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 4b.
Estate tax. Generally, the value of an annuity or other
payment receivable by any beneficiary of a decedent's tra-
ditional IRA that represents the part of the purchase price
contributed by the decedent (or by their former em-
ployer(s)) must be included in the decedent's gross es-
tate. For more information, see the instructions for Form
706, Schedule I.
What Acts Result in Penalties
or Additional Taxes?
The tax advantages of using traditional IRAs for retirement
savings can be offset by additional taxes and penalties if
you don't follow the rules. There are additions to the regu-
lar tax for using your IRA funds in prohibited transactions.
There are also additional taxes for the following activities.
Investing in collectibles.
Having unrelated business income.
Taking early distributions.
Allowing excess amounts to accumulate (failing to
take required distributions).
Making excess contributions.
There are penalties for overstating the amount of non-
deductible contributions and for failure to file Form 8606, if
required.
This chapter discusses those acts (relating to distribu-
tions) that you should avoid and the additional taxes and
other costs, including loss of IRA status, that apply if you
don't avoid those acts.
Prohibited Transactions
Generally, a prohibited transaction is any improper use of
your traditional IRA account or annuity by you, your
beneficiary, or any disqualified person.
Disqualified persons include your fiduciary and mem-
bers of your family (spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant,
and any spouse of a lineal descendant).
The following are some examples of prohibited transac-
tions with a traditional IRA.
Borrowing money from it.
Selling property to it.
Using it as security for a loan.
Buying property for personal use (present or future)
with IRA funds.
If your IRA invested in nonpublicly traded assets
or assets that you directly control, the risk of en-
gaging in a prohibited transaction in connection
with your IRA may be increased.
Fiduciary. For these purposes, a fiduciary includes any-
one who does any of the following.
Exercises any discretionary authority or discretionary
control in managing your IRA or exercises any author-
ity or control in managing or disposing of its assets.
Provides investment advice to your IRA for a fee, or
has any authority or responsibility to do so.
Has any discretionary authority or discretionary re-
sponsibility in administering your IRA.
Effect on an IRA account. Generally, if you or your ben-
eficiary engages in a prohibited transaction in connection
with your traditional IRA account at any time during the
year, the account stops being an IRA as of the first day of
that year.
However, if you own more than one IRA, each IRA is
treated as a separate account, and loss of IRA status only
affects that IRA that participated in that prohibited transac-
tion.
Effect on you or your beneficiary. If your account stops
being an IRA because you or your beneficiary engaged in
a prohibited transaction, the account is treated as distrib-
uting all its assets to you at their fair market values on the
first day of the year. If the total of those values is more
than your basis in the IRA, you will have a taxable gain
that is includible in your income. For information on figur-
ing your gain and reporting it in income, see Are Distribu-
tions Taxable, earlier. The distribution may be subject to
additional taxes or penalties.
Borrowing on an annuity contract. If you borrow
money against your traditional IRA annuity contract, you
must include in your gross income the fair market value of
the annuity contract as of the first day of your tax year. You
may have to pay the 10% additional tax on early distribu-
tions, discussed later.
Pledging an account as security. If you use a part of
your traditional IRA account as security for a loan, that
part is treated as a distribution and is included in your
gross income. You may have to pay the 10% additional tax
on early distributions, discussed later.

Trust account set up by an employer or an employee
association. Your account or annuity doesn't lose its IRA
treatment if your employer or the employee association
with whom you have your traditional IRA engages in a pro-
hibited transaction.
Owner participation. If you participate in the prohibi-
ted transaction with your employer or the association, your
account is no longer treated as an IRA.
Taxes on prohibited transactions. If someone other
than the owner or beneficiary of a traditional IRA engages
in a prohibited transaction, that person may be liable for
certain taxes. In general, there is a 15% tax on the amount
of the prohibited transaction and a 100% additional tax if
the transaction isn't corrected.
Loss of IRA status. If the traditional IRA ceases to be
an IRA because of a prohibited transaction by you or your
beneficiary, neither you nor your beneficiary is liable for
these excise taxes. However, you or your beneficiary may
have to pay other taxes, as discussed under Effect on you
or your beneficiary, earlier.
Exempt Transactions
The Department of Labor has authority to grant adminis-
trative exemptions from the prohibited transaction provi-
sions of ERISA and the Code for a class of transactions or
for individual transactions. In order to grant an administra-
tive exemption, the Department must make the following
three determinations.
1. The exemption must be administratively feasible.
2. In the interest of the plan and its participants and ben-
eficiaries.
3. Protective of the rights of plan participants and benefi-
ciaries.
For additional information on prohibited transaction ex-
emptions, see the Department of Labor publication,
Exemption Procedures under Federal Pension Law.
Transactions Not Prohibited
The following two types of transactions aren't prohibited
transactions if they meet the requirements that follow.
Payments of cash, property, or other consideration by
the sponsor of your traditional IRA to you (or members
of your family).
Your receipt of services at reduced or no cost from the
bank where your traditional IRA is established or
maintained.
Payments of cash, property, or other consideration.
Even if a sponsor makes payments to you or your family,
there is no prohibited transaction if all three of the follow-
ing requirements are met.
1. The payments are for establishing a traditional IRA or
for making additional contributions to it.
2. The IRA is established solely to benefit you, your
spouse, and your or your spouse's beneficiaries.
3. During the year, the total fair market value of the pay-
ments you receive isn't more than:
a. $10 for IRA deposits of less than $5,000, or
b. $20 for IRA deposits of $5,000 or more.
If the consideration is group-term life insurance, require-
ments (1) and (3) don't apply if no more than $5,000 of the
face value of the insurance is based on a dollar-for-dollar
basis on the assets in your IRA.
Services received at reduced or no cost. Even if a
sponsor provides services at reduced or no cost, there is
no prohibited transaction if all of the following require-
ments are met.
The traditional IRA qualifying you to receive the serv-
ices is established and maintained for the benefit of
you, your spouse, and your or your spouse's benefi-
ciaries.
The bank itself can legally offer the services.
The services are provided in the ordinary course of
business by the bank (or a bank affiliate) to customers
who qualify for but don't maintain an IRA (or a Keogh
plan).
The determination, for a traditional IRA, of who quali-
fies for these services is based on an IRA (or a Keogh
plan) deposit balance equal to the lowest qualifying
balance for any other type of account.
The rate of return on a traditional IRA investment that
qualifies isn't less than the return on an identical in-
vestment that could have been made at the same time
at the same branch of the bank by a customer who
isn't eligible for (or doesn't receive) these services.
Investment in Collectibles
If your traditional IRA invests in collectibles, the amount in-
vested is considered distributed to you in the year inves-
ted. You may have to pay the 10% additional tax on early
distributions, discussed later.
Any amounts that were considered to be distributed
when the investment in the collectible was made, and
which were included in your income at that time, aren't in-
cluded in your income when the collectible is actually dis-
tributed from your IRA.
Collectibles. These include:
Artworks,
Rugs,
Antiques,
Metals,
Gems,
Stamps,
Coins,

Alcoholic beverages, and
Certain other tangible personal property.
Exception. Your IRA can invest in one, one-half,
one-quarter, or one-tenth ounce U.S. gold coins, or
one-ounce silver coins minted by the Treasury Depart-
ment. It can also invest in certain platinum coins and cer-
tain gold, silver, palladium, and platinum bullion.
The coins must be in the possession of the custo-
dian or trustee of the IRA. If the owner or the ben-
eficiary of the IRA takes possession of the coins,
the coins will be treated as distributed.
Unrelated Business Income
An IRA is subject to tax on unrelated business income if it
carries on an unrelated trade or business. An unrelated
trade or business means any trade or business regularly
carried on by the IRA or by a partnership of which it is a
member, and not substantially related to the IRAs exempt
purpose or function. If the IRA has $1,000 or more of unre-
lated trade or business gross income, the IRA must file a
Form 990-T, Exempt Organization Business Income Tax
Return. An IRA trustee is permitted to file Form 990-T on
behalf of the IRA. In the case of an IRA that operates on a
calendar year, the Form 990-T must be filed by April 15
following the close of the calendar year. In the case of an
IRA that operates on a fiscal year, the Form 990-T must be
filed by the 15th day of the 4th month following the close
of the fiscal year. See Pub. 598 for more information.
Early Distributions
You must include early distributions of taxable amounts
from your traditional IRA in your gross income. Early distri-
butions are also subject to an additional 10% tax, as dis-
cussed later.
Early distributions defined. Early distributions are gen-
erally amounts distributed from your traditional IRA ac-
count or annuity before you are age 59
1
/2, or amounts you
receive when you cash in retirement bonds before you are
age 59
1
/2.
If you were affected by a qualified disaster, see
chapter 3.
Age 59
1
/2 Rule
Generally, if you are under age 59
1
/2, you must pay a 10%
additional tax on the distribution of any assets (money or
other property) from your traditional IRA. Distributions be-
fore you are age 59
1
/2 are called “early distributions.
The 10% additional tax applies to the part of the distri-
bution that you have to include in gross income. It is in ad-
dition to any regular income tax on that amount.
CAUTION
!
TIP
A number of exceptions to this rule are discussed later
under Exceptions. Also see Contributions Returned
Before Due Date of Return in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A.
After age 59
1
/2 and before age 72. After you reach age
59
1
/2, you can receive distributions without having to pay
the 10% additional tax. Even though you can receive dis-
tributions after you reach age 59
1
/2, distributions aren't re-
quired until you reach age 72. See When Must You With-
draw Assets? (Required Minimum Distributions), earlier.
Exceptions
There are several exceptions to the age 59
1
/2 rule. Even if
you receive a distribution before you are age 59
1
/2, you
may not have to pay the 10% additional tax if you are in
one of the following situations.
You have unreimbursed medical expenses that are
more than 7.5% of your AGI.
The distribution is for the cost of your medical insur-
ance due to a period of unemployment.
You are totally and permanently disabled.
You have been certified as having a terminal illness.
You are the beneficiary of a deceased IRA owner.
You are receiving distributions in the form of a series
of substantially equal periodic payments.
The distribution is for your qualified higher education
expenses.
You use the distributions to buy, build, or rebuild a first
home.
The distribution is due to an IRS levy of the IRA or re-
tirement plan.
The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution.
The distribution is a qualified birth or adoption distribu-
tion.
The distribution is a qualified disaster distribution or
qualified disaster recovery distribution.
The distribution is a corrective distribution.
Most of these exceptions are explained below.
Note. Distributions that are timely and properly rolled
over, as discussed in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A, aren't sub-
ject to either regular income tax or the 10% additional tax.
Certain withdrawals of excess contributions after the due
date of your return are also tax free and therefore not sub-
ject to the 10% additional tax. (See Excess Contributions
Withdrawn After Due Date of Return in chapter 1 of Pub.
590-A.) This also applies to transfers incident to divorce,
as discussed under Can You Move Retirement Plan As-
sets? in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A.
Receivership distributions. Early distributions (with
or without your consent) from savings institutions placed
in receivership are subject to this tax unless one of the
above exceptions applies. This is true even if the distribu-
tion is from a receiver that is a state agency.

Unreimbursed medical expenses. Even if you are un-
der age 59½, there are certain distribution amounts on
which you don’t have to pay the 10% additional tax.
If you have unreimbursed medical expenses (that
would qualify for a medical deduction) in excess of 7.5%
of your (AGI), defined next, you don’t have to pay the 10%
additional tax on distributions from your IRA up to the
amount by which those qualifying medical expenses ex-
ceed 7.5% of your (AGI).
You can only take into account unreimbursed
medical expenses that you would be able to in-
clude in figuring a deduction for medical expenses
on Schedule A (Form 1040). You don't have to itemize
your deductions to take advantage of this exception to the
10% additional tax.
Adjusted gross income (AGI). This is the amount on
Form 1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR, line 11.
Medical insurance. Even if you are under age 59
1
/2, you
may not have to pay the 10% additional tax on distribu-
tions during the year that aren't more than the amount you
paid during the year for medical insurance for yourself,
your spouse, and your dependents. You won't have to pay
the tax on these amounts if all of the following conditions
apply.
You lost your job.
You received unemployment compensation paid un-
der any federal or state law for 12 consecutive weeks
because you lost your job.
You receive the distributions during either the year you
received the unemployment compensation or the fol-
lowing year.
You receive the distributions no later than 60 days af-
ter you have been reemployed.
Disabled. If you become disabled before you reach age
59
1
/2, any distributions from your traditional IRA because
of your disability aren't subject to the 10% additional tax.
You are considered disabled if you can furnish proof
that you can't do any substantial gainful activity because
of your physical or mental condition. A physician must de-
termine that your condition can be expected to result in
death or to be of long, continued, and indefinite duration.
Beneficiary. If you die before reaching age 59
1
/2, the as-
sets in your traditional IRA can be distributed to your ben-
eficiary or to your estate without either having to pay the
10% additional tax.
However, if you inherit a traditional IRA from your de-
ceased spouse and elect to treat it as your own (as dis-
cussed under What if You Inherit an IRA, earlier), any dis-
tribution you later receive before you reach age 59
1
/2 may
be subject to the 10% additional tax.
Distributions to terminally ill individuals. You may be
able to take a distribution from a qualified retirement plan
before reaching age 59
1
/2 and not have to pay the 10%
additional tax on early distributions if you receive the distri-
CAUTION
!
bution on or after the date you have received a certifica-
tion by a physician that you are terminally ill.
Terminally ill. You are considered terminally ill if you
are certified by a physician as having an illness or physical
condition which can reasonably be expected to result in
death in 84 months or less after the date of the certifica-
tion.
Certification of terminal illness. A certification of termi-
nal illness must include the following:
A statement that the individual’s illness or physical
condition can be reasonably expected to result in
death in 84 months or less after the date of certifica-
tion.
A narrative description of the evidence that was used
to support the statement of illness or physical condi-
tion.
It must include the name and contact information of
the physician making the statement.
The statement must include the date the physician ex-
amined the individual or reviewed the evidence provi-
ded by the individual, and the date that the physician
signed the certification.
The statement must include the signature of the physi-
cian making the statement, and an attestation from the
physician that, by signing the form, the physician con-
firms that the physician composed the narrative de-
scription based on the physician’s examination of the
individual or the physician’s review of the evidence
provided by the individual.
However, it is not sufficient evidence for an employee
who is a physician to certify the physician’s own terminal
illness.
Amount may be repaid. You may repay an amount
you received because you are certified terminally ill by
making one or more contributions to the plan as long as
the total of those contributions do not exceed the amount
distributed to you as a terminally ill individual.
Certain corrective distributions not subject to 10%
early distribution tax. Beginning with distributions made
on December 29, 2022, and after, the 10% additional tax
on early distributions will not apply to a corrective IRA dis-
tribution, which consists of an excessive contribution (a
contribution greater than the IRA contribution limit) and
any earnings (the portion of the distribution subject to the
10% additional tax) allocable to the excessive contribu-
tion, as long as the corrective distribution is made on or
before the due date (including extensions) of the income
tax return.
Substantially equal periodic payments. You can re-
ceive distributions from your traditional IRA before age
59½ if they are part of a series of substantially equal pay-
ments over your life (or your life expectancy), or over the
lives (or the joint life expectancies) of you and your benefi-
ciary, without having to pay the 10% additional tax.

The IRS has provided three general methods of com-
puting the annual distribution amounts for meeting the re-
quirements for a series of substantially equal periodic pay-
ments: Notice 2022-6 explains the three methods and
identifies tables to be used for 2023 and after. (See Notice
2022-6 at IRS.gov/irb/2022-05_IRB#NOT-2022-06).
The three methods are generally referred to as the re-
quired minimum distribution method (RMD method), the
fixed amortization method, and the fixed annuitization
method. The latter two methods may require professional
assistance.
The RMD method, when used for this purpose, re-
sults in the exact amount required to be distrib-
uted each year, not the minimum amount.
Distributions received as periodic payments on or
after December 29, 2022, will not fail to be treated
as substantially equal merely because they are re-
ceived as an annuity.
Note. For a series of substantially equal periodic pay-
ments established in 2022, you may apply the guidance
either in Notice 2022-6 at IRS.gov/irb/
2022-05_IRB#NOT-2022-06, or in Revenue Ruling
2002-62 which is on page 710 of Internal Revenue Bulletin
2002-42 at https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-irbs/irb02-42.pdf.
Note. Distributions received as periodic payments on
or after December 29, 2022, will not fail to be treated as
substantially equal merely because they are received as
an annuity.
Recapture tax for changes in distribution method
under equal payment exception. You may have to pay
an early distribution recapture tax if you modify (for rea-
sons other than your death or disability) the annual
amount distributed to be different from the annual amount
determined under the distribution method that you initially
established under the substantially equal periodic pay-
ment exception, and if the modification occurs before the
date limitation explained in Modification date below.
The recapture tax is imposed with respect to the calen-
dar year in which the modification first occurs. The amount
of tax is the amount of early distribution additional taxes
that would have been imposed in prior years had the ex-
ception not applied in those prior years, plus interest for
the deferral periods.
Modification date. The recapture tax applies if you
modify the series of payments (other than because of
death or disability) before the later of these two dates:
1. The 5th anniversary of the date of the first distribution
of the series; or
2. The date you reach age 59½.
However, the following two situations are not treated as a
modification of the series for purposes of the recapture
tax: (a) if your account is completely depleted of all as-
sets; or (b) if you make a one-time change to the required
minimum distribution method from one of the other meth-
ods.
CAUTION
!
TIP
In the event of a modification that triggers the recapture
tax, the tax does not apply to any amounts distributed af-
ter you reach age 59½.
Report the recapture tax (including the interest on the
deferral periods) on line 4 of Form 5329. Attach an explan-
ation to the form. Don't write the explanation next to the
line or enter any amount for the recapture on line 1 or 3 of
the form.
One-time switch. If you are receiving a series of sub-
stantially equal periodic payments, you can make a
one-time switch to the required minimum distribution
method at any time without incurring the additional tax.
Once a change is made, you must follow the required min-
imum distribution method in all subsequent years.
Higher education expenses. Even if you are under age
59
1
/2, if you paid expenses for higher education during the
year, part (or all) of any distribution may not be subject to
the 10% additional tax. The part not subject to the tax is
generally the amount that isn't more than the qualified
higher education expenses (defined next) for the year for
education furnished at an eligible educational institution
(defined below). The education must be for you, your
spouse, or the children or grandchildren of you or your
spouse.
When determining the amount of the distribution that
isn't subject to the 10% additional tax, include qualified
higher education expenses paid with any of the following
funds.
Payment for services, such as wages.
A loan.
A gift.
An inheritance given to either the student or the indi-
vidual making the withdrawal.
A withdrawal from personal savings (including savings
from a qualified tuition program).
Don't include expenses paid with any of the following
funds.
Tax-free distributions from a Coverdell education sav-
ings account.
Tax-free part of scholarships and fellowships.
Pell grants.
Employer-provided educational assistance.
Veterans' educational assistance.
Any other tax-free payment (other than a gift or inheri-
tance) received as educational assistance.
Qualified higher education expenses. Qualified
higher education expenses are tuition, fees, books, sup-
plies, and equipment required for the enrollment or attend-
ance of a student at an eligible educational institution.
They also include expenses for special needs services in-
curred by or for special needs students in connection with
their enrollment or attendance. In addition, if the individual
is at least a half-time student, room and board are quali-
fied higher education expenses.

Eligible educational institution. This is any college,
university, vocational school, or other postsecondary edu-
cational institution eligible to participate in the student aid
programs administered by the U.S. Department of Educa-
tion. It includes virtually all accredited, public, nonprofit,
and proprietary (privately owned profit-making) postse-
condary institutions. The educational institution should be
able to tell you if it is an eligible educational institution.
For more information, see chapter 9 of Pub. 970.
First home. Even if you are under age 59
1
/2, you don't
have to pay the 10% additional tax on up to $10,000 of
distributions you receive to buy, build, or rebuild a first
home. To qualify for treatment as a first-time homebuyer
distribution, the distribution must meet all the following re-
quirements.
1. It must be used to pay qualified acquisition costs (de-
fined next) before the close of the 120th day after the
day you received it.
2. It must be used to pay qualified acquisition costs for
the main home of a first-time homebuyer (defined be-
low) who is any of the following.
a. Yourself.
b. Your spouse.
c. Your or your spouse's child.
d. Your or your spouse's grandchild.
e. Your or your spouse's parent or other ancestor.
3. When added to all your prior qualified first-time home-
buyer distributions, if any, total qualifying distributions
can't be more than $10,000.
If both you and your spouse are first-time home-
buyers (defined later), each of you can receive
distributions up to $10,000 for a first home without
having to pay the 10% additional tax.
Qualified acquisition costs. Qualified acquisition
costs include the following items.
Costs of buying, building, or rebuilding a home.
Any usual or reasonable settlement, financing, or
other closing costs.
First-time homebuyer. Generally, you are a first-time
homebuyer if you had no present interest in a main home
during the 2-year period ending on the date of acquisition
of the home which the distribution is being used to buy,
build, or rebuild. If you are married, your spouse must also
meet this no-ownership requirement.
Date of acquisition. The date of acquisition is the
date that:
You enter into a binding contract to buy the main home
for which the distribution is being used, or
The building or rebuilding of the main home for which
the distribution is being used begins.
TIP
If you received a distribution to buy, build, or re-
build a first home and the purchase or construc-
tion was canceled or delayed, you could generally
contribute the amount of the distribution to an IRA within
120 days of the distribution and not pay income tax or the
10% additional tax on early distributions. This contribution
is treated as a rollover contribution to the IRA.
Qualified reservist distributions. A qualified reservist
distribution isn't subject to the additional tax on early distri-
butions.
Definition. A distribution you receive is a qualified re-
servist distribution if the following requirements are met.
You were ordered or called to active duty after Sep-
tember 11, 2001.
You were ordered or called to active duty for a period
of more than 179 days or for an indefinite period be-
cause you are a member of a reserve component.
The distribution is from an IRA or from amounts attrib-
utable to elective deferrals under a section 401(k) or
403(b) plan or a similar arrangement.
The distribution was made no earlier than the date of
the order or call to active duty and no later than the
close of the active duty period.
Reserve component. The term “reserve component”
means the:
Army National Guard of the United States,
Army Reserve,
Naval Reserve,
Marine Corps Reserve,
Air National Guard of the United States,
Air Force Reserve,
Coast Guard Reserve, or
Reserve Corps of the Public Health Service.
Qualified birth or adoption distribution. A qualified
birth or adoption distribution is any distribution from an ap-
plicable eligible retirement plan if made during the 1-year
period beginning on the date on which your child was born
or the date on which the legal adoption of your child was
finalized.
A qualified birth or adoption distribution must not ex-
ceed $5,000 per taxpayer. In addition, an eligible adoptee
is any individual (other than the child of the taxpayer’s
spouse) who has not reached age 18 or is physically or
mentally incapable of self-support.
Amount may be repaid. If you receive a qualified
birth or adoption distribution, you can make one or more
contributions to an eligible retirement plan during the
3-year period beginning on the day after the date on which
such distribution was received. You make this repayment if
you are a beneficiary of that plan, the plan accepts rollover
contributions, and the total of those contributions does not
exceed the amount of the qualified birth or adoption
distribution.

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.
In the case of a qualified birth or adoption distribution
made on or before December 29, 2022, you can make
one or more contributions after the distribution but before
January 1, 2026.
Additional 10% Tax
The additional tax on early distributions is 10% of the
amount of the early distribution that you must include in
your gross income. This tax is in addition to any regular in-
come tax resulting from including the distribution in in-
come.
Use Form 5329 to figure the tax. See the discussion of
Form 5329, later, under Reporting Additional Taxes for in-
formation on filing the form.
Example. Tom Jones, who is 35 years old, receives a
$3,000 distribution from his traditional IRA account. Tom
doesn't meet any of the exceptions to the 10% additional
tax, so the $3,000 is an early distribution. Tom never made
any nondeductible contributions to his IRA. He must in-
clude the $3,000 in his gross income for the year of the
distribution and pay income tax on it. Tom must also pay
an additional tax of $300 (10% (0.10) × $3,000). He files
Form 5329. See the filled-in Form 5329, later.
Early distributions of funds from a SIMPLE retire-
ment account made within 2 years of beginning
participation in the SIMPLE are subject to a 25%,
rather than a 10%, early distributions tax.
Nondeductible contributions. The tax on early distribu-
tions doesn't apply to the part of a distribution that repre-
sents a return of your nondeductible contributions (basis).
Excess Accumulations (Insufficient
Distributions)
You can't keep amounts in your traditional IRA (including
SEP and SIMPLE IRAs) indefinitely. Generally, you must
begin receiving distributions by April 1 of the year follow-
ing the year in which you reach age 72 (or age 73). The
required minimum distribution for any year after the year in
which you reach age 72 (or age 73) must be made by De-
cember 31 of that later year.
Tax on excess. If distributions are less than the re-
quired minimum distribution for the year, discussed earlier
under When Must You Withdraw Assets? (Required Mini-
mum Distributions), you may have to pay a 25% excise tax
for that year on the amount not distributed as required.
Additional tax rate for excess accumulations re-
duced. The additional tax rate for distributions that are
less than the required minimum distribution amount (ex-
cess accumulations) is reduced to 25% for tax years be-
ginning after December 29, 2022.
You may be subject to a reduced additional tax rate of
10% of the amount not distributed, if, during the correction
window, you take a distribution of the amount on which the
CAUTION
!
tax is due and submit a tax return reflecting this additional
tax.
The “correction window” is the period of time beginning
on the date on which the additional tax is imposed on the
distribution shortfall and ends on the earliest of the follow-
ing dates:
The date of mailing the deficiency notice with respect
to the imposition of this tax, or
The date the tax is assessed, or
The last day of the second taxable year that begins af-
ter the date of the taxable year in which the additional
tax is imposed.
Reporting the tax. Use Form 5329 to report the tax on
excess accumulations. See the discussion of Form 5329,
later, under Reporting Additional Taxes for more informa-
tion on filing the form.
Request to waive the tax. If the excess accumulation is
due to reasonable error, and you have taken, or are taking,
steps to remedy the insufficient distribution, you can re-
quest that the tax be waived. If you believe you qualify for
this relief, attach a statement of explanation and complete
Form 5329 as instructed under Waiver of tax for reasona-
ble cause in the Instructions for Form 5329.
Exemption from tax. If you are unable to take required
distributions because you have a traditional IRA invested
in a contract issued by an insurance company that is in
state insurer delinquency proceedings, the 25% excise tax
doesn't apply if the conditions and requirements of Reve-
nue Procedure 92-10 are satisfied. Those conditions and
requirements are summarized below. Revenue Procedure
92-10 is in Cumulative Bulletin 1992-1. You can read the
revenue procedure at most IRS offices, at many public li-
braries, and online at IRS.gov.
Conditions. To qualify for exemption from the tax, the
assets in your traditional IRA must include an affected in-
vestment. Also, the amount of your required distribution
must be determined as discussed earlier under When
Must You Withdraw Assets? (Required Minimum Distribu-
tions).
Affected investment defined. Affected investment
means an annuity contract or a guaranteed investment
contract (with an insurance company) for which payments
under the terms of the contract have been reduced or sus-
pended because of state insurer delinquency proceedings
against the contracting insurance company.
Requirements. If your traditional IRA (or IRAs) in-
cludes assets other than your affected investment, all tra-
ditional IRA assets, including the available portion of your
affected investment, must be used to satisfy as much as
possible of your IRA distribution requirement. If the affec-
ted investment is the only asset in your IRA, as much of
the required distribution as possible must come from the
available portion, if any, of your affected investment.
Available portion. The available portion of your affec-
ted investment is the amount of payments remaining after

they have been reduced or suspended because of state
insurer delinquency proceedings.
Make up of shortfall in distribution. If the payments
to you under the contract increase because all or part of
the reduction or suspension is canceled, you must make
up the amount of any shortfall in a prior distribution be-
cause of the proceedings. You make up (reduce or elimi-
nate) the shortfall with the increased payments you re-
ceive.
You must make up the shortfall by December 31 of the
calendar year following the year that you receive in-
creased payments.
Reporting Additional Taxes
Generally, you must use Form 5329 to report the tax on
excess contributions, early distributions, and excess accu-
mulations.
Filing a tax return. If you must file an individual income
tax return, complete Form 5329 and attach it to your Form
1040, 1040-SR, or 1040-NR. Enter the total additional
taxes due on Schedule 2 (Form 1040), line 8.
Not filing a tax return. If you don't have to file a return,
but do have to pay one of the additional taxes mentioned
earlier, file the completed Form 5329 with the IRS at the
time and place you would have filed Form 1040, 1040-SR,
or 1040-NR. Be sure to include your address on page 1
and your signature and date on page 2. Enclose, but don't
attach, a check or money order made payable to “United
States Treasury” for the tax you owe, as shown on Form
5329. Write your social security number and “2023 Form
5329” on your check or money order.
Form 5329 not required. You don't have to use Form
5329 if any of the following situations exists.
Distribution code 1 (early distribution) is correctly
shown in box 7 of Form 1099-R. If you don't owe any
other additional tax on a distribution, multiply the taxa-
ble part of the early distribution by 10% and enter the
result on Schedule 2 (Form 1040), line 8. Enter “No” to
the left of the line to indicate that you don't have to file
Form 5329. However, if you owe this tax and also owe
any other additional tax on a distribution, don't enter
this 10% additional tax directly on your Form 1040,
1040-SR, or 1040-NR. You must file Form 5329 to re-
port your additional taxes.
If you rolled over part or all of a distribution from a
qualified retirement plan, the part rolled over isn't sub-
ject to the tax on early distributions.
You have a qualified disaster distribution.

Roth IRAs
Reminders
Disaster relief. If you were affected by a qualified disas-
ter, see chapter 3.
Designated Roth accounts. Designated Roth accounts
are separate accounts under section 401(k), 403(b), or
457(b) plans that accept elective deferrals that are refer-
red to as Roth contributions. These elective deferrals are
included in your income, but qualified distributions from
these accounts aren't included in your income. Designa-
ted Roth accounts aren't IRAs and shouldn’t be confused
with Roth IRAs. Contributions, up to their respective limits,
can be made to Roth IRAs and designated Roth accounts
according to your eligibility to participate. A contribution to
one doesn't impact your eligibility to contribute to the
other. See Pub. 575 for more information on designated
Roth accounts.
Introduction
Regardless of your age, you may be able to establish and
make nondeductible contributions to an individual retire-
ment plan called a Roth IRA.
Contributions not reported. You don't report Roth IRA
contributions on your return.
What Is a Roth IRA?
A Roth IRA is an individual retirement plan that, except as
explained in this chapter, is subject to the rules that apply
to a traditional IRA (defined next). It can be either an ac-
count or an annuity. Individual retirement accounts and
annuities are described in How Can a Traditional IRA Be
Opened? in chapter 1 of Pub. 590-A.
To be a Roth IRA, the account or annuity must be des-
ignated as a Roth IRA when it is opened. A deemed IRA
can be a Roth IRA, a Roth SEP IRA or a Roth SIMPLE
IRA.
Unlike a traditional IRA, you can't deduct contributions
to a Roth IRA. But, if you satisfy the requirements, quali-
fied distributions (discussed later) are tax free and you
can leave amounts in your Roth IRA as long as you live.
Beginning in 2023, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs can be
designated as Roth IRAs.
Traditional IRA. A traditional IRA is any IRA that isn't a
Roth IRA or SIMPLE IRA. Traditional IRAs are discussed
in chapter 1.
Are Distributions Taxable?
You don't include in your gross income qualified distribu-
tions or distributions that are a return of your regular con-
tributions from your Roth IRA(s). You also don't include
distributions from your Roth IRA that you roll over tax free
into another Roth IRA. You may have to include part of
other distributions in your income. See Ordering Rules for
Distributions, later.
Basis of distributed property. The basis of property
distributed from a Roth IRA is its fair market value on the
date of distribution, whether or not the distribution is a
qualified distribution.
Withdrawals of contributions by due date. If you with-
draw contributions (including any net earnings on the con-
tributions) by the due date of your return for the year in
which you made the contribution, the contributions are
treated as if you never made them. If you have an exten-
sion of time to file your return, you can withdraw the contri-
butions and earnings by the extended due date. The with-
drawal of contributions is tax free, but you must include
the earnings on the contributions in income for the year in
which you made the contributions.
What Are Qualified Distributions?
A qualified distribution is any payment or distribution from
your Roth IRA that meets the following requirements.
1. It is made after the 5-year period beginning with the
first tax year for which a contribution was made to a
Roth IRA set up for your benefit.
2. The payment or distribution is:
a. Made on or after the date you reach age 59
1
/2,
b. Made because you are disabled (defined earlier),
c. Made to a beneficiary or to your estate after your
death, or
d. One that meets the requirements listed under First
home under Exceptions in chapter 1 (up to a
$10,000 lifetime limit).

Additional Tax on Early Distributions
If you receive a distribution that isn't a qualified distribu-
tion, you may have to pay the 10% additional tax on early
distributions as explained in the following paragraphs.
Distributions of conversion and certain rollover con-
tributions within 5-year period. If, within the 5-year pe-
riod starting with the first day of your tax year in which you
convert an amount from a traditional IRA or roll over an
amount from a qualified retirement plan to a Roth IRA, you
take a distribution from a Roth IRA, you may have to pay
the 10% additional tax on early distributions. You must
generally pay the 10% additional tax on any amount attrib-
utable to the part of the amount converted or rolled over
(the conversion or rollover contribution) that you had to in-
clude in income (recapture amount). A separate 5-year
period applies to each conversion and rollover. See Order-
ing Rules for Distributions, later, to determine the recap-
ture amount, if any.
The 5-year period used for determining whether the
10% early distribution tax applies to a distribution from a
conversion or rollover contribution is separately deter-
mined for each conversion and rollover, and isn't necessa-
rily the same as the 5-year period used for determining
whether a distribution is a qualified distribution. See What
Are Qualified Distributions, earlier.
For example, if a calendar-year taxpayer makes a con-
version contribution on February 25, 2023, and makes a
regular contribution for 2022 on the same date, the 5-year
period for the conversion begins January 1, 2023, while
the 5-year period for the regular contribution begins on
January 1, 2022.
Unless one of the exceptions listed later applies, you
must pay the additional tax on the portion of the distribu-
tion attributable to the part of the conversion or rollover
contribution that you had to include in income because of
the conversion or rollover.
You must pay the 10% additional tax in the year of the
distribution, even if you had included the conversion or
rollover contribution in an earlier year. You must also pay
the additional tax on any portion of the distribution attribut-
able to earnings on contributions.
Other early distributions. Unless one of the exceptions
listed below applies, you must pay the 10% additional tax
on the taxable part of any distributions that aren't qualified
distributions.
Exceptions. You may not have to pay the 10% additional
tax in the following situations.
You have reached age 59
1
/2.
You are totally and permanently disabled.
You have been certified as having a terminal illness.
You are the beneficiary of a deceased IRA owner.
TIP
You use the distribution to buy, build, or rebuild a first
home.
The distributions are part of a series of substantially
equal payments.
You have unreimbursed medical expenses that are
more than 7.5% of your AGI (defined earlier) for the
year.
You are paying medical insurance premiums during a
period of unemployment.
The distribution is a corrective distribution.
The distributions are for your qualified higher educa-
tion expenses.
The distribution is due to an IRS levy of the IRA or re-
tirement plan.
The distribution is a qualified reservist distribution.
The distribution is a qualified birth or adoption distribu-
tion.
The distribution is a qualified disaster distribution or
qualified disaster recovery distribution.
Most of these exceptions are discussed earlier in chap-
ter 1 under Early Distributions.
If you were affected by a qualified disaster, see
chapter 3.
Ordering Rules for Distributions
If you receive a distribution from your Roth IRA that isn't a
qualified distribution, part of it may be taxable. There is a
set order in which contributions (including conversion con-
tributions and rollover contributions from qualified retire-
ment plans) and earnings are considered to be distributed
from your Roth IRA. For these purposes, disregard the
withdrawal of excess contributions and the earnings on
them (discussed under What if You Contribute Too Much?
in chapter 2 of Pub. 590-A). Order the distributions as fol-
lows.
1. Regular contributions.
2. Conversion and rollover contributions, on a first-in,
first-out basis (generally, total conversions and roll-
overs from the earliest year first). See Aggregation
(grouping and adding) rules, later. Take these conver-
sion and rollover contributions into account as follows.
a. Taxable portion (the amount required to be inclu-
ded in gross income because of the conversion or
rollover) first.
b. Nontaxable portion.
3. Earnings on contributions.
Disregard rollover contributions from other Roth IRAs for
this purpose.

Aggregation (grouping and adding) rules. Deter-
mine the taxable amounts distributed (withdrawn), distri-
butions, and contributions by grouping and adding them
together as follows.
Add together all distributions from all your Roth IRAs
during the year.
Add together all regular contributions made for the
year (including contributions made after the close of
the year, but before the due date of your return). Add
this total to the total undistributed regular contributions
made in prior years.
Add together all conversion and rollover contributions
made during the year. For purposes of the ordering
rules, in the case of any conversion or rollover in which
the conversion or rollover distribution is made in 2023
and the conversion or rollover contribution is made in
2024, treat the conversion or rollover contribution as
contributed before any other conversion or rollover
contributions made in 2024.
Add any recharacterized contributions that end up in a
Roth IRA to the appropriate contribution group for the year
that the original contribution would have been taken into
account if it had been made directly to the Roth IRA.
Disregard any recharacterized contribution that ends up
in an IRA other than a Roth IRA for the purpose of group-
ing (aggregating) both contributions and distributions.
Also, disregard any amount withdrawn to correct an ex-
cess contribution (including the earnings withdrawn) for
this purpose.
Example. On October 15, 2019, Amelia converted all
$80,000 in her traditional IRA to her Roth IRA. Her Forms
8606 from prior years show that $20,000 of the amount
converted is her basis.
Amelia included $60,000 ($80,000 − $20,000) in her
gross income.
On February 23, 2023, Amelia made a regular contribu-
tion of $5,000 to a Roth IRA. On November 8, 2023, at
age 60, Amelia took a $7,000 distribution from her Roth
IRA.
The first $5,000 of the distribution is a return of Amelia's
regular contribution and isn't includible in her income.
The next $2,000 of the distribution isn't includible in in-
come because it was included previously.
Figuring your recapture amount. If you had an early
distribution from your Roth IRAs in 2023, you must allo-
cate the early distribution by using the Recapture
Amount—Allocation Chart located in Appendix C.
Amount to include on Form 5329, line 1. Include on
line 1 of your 2023 Form 5329 the following four amounts
from the Recapture Amount—Allocation Chart that you fil-
led out.

The amount from your 2023 Form 8606, line 25c.
Also, include any amount you allocated to line 20 of
your 2023 Form 8606 on your 2023 Form 5329, line 2, and
enter exception number 09.
Example. Ishmael, age 32, opened a Roth IRA in
2000. He made the following transactions into his Roth
IRA.
In 2005, he converted $10,000 from his traditional IRA
into his Roth IRA. He filled out a 2005 Form 8606 and
attached it to his 2005 Form 1040. He entered $0 on
line 17 of Form 8606 because he took a deduction for
all the contributions to the traditional IRA; therefore, he

has no basis. He entered $10,000 on line 18 of Form
8606. He also entered zero on Form 1040, line 15a,
and $10,000 on line 15b.
In 2016, he rolled over the balance of his qualified re-
tirement plan, $20,000, into a Roth IRA when he
changed jobs. He used a 2016 Form 1040 to file his
taxes. He entered $20,000 on line 16a of Form 1040
because that was the amount reported in box 1 of his
2016 Form 1099-R. Box 5 of his 2016 Form 1099-R
reported $0 because he didn't make any after-tax con-
tributions to the qualified retirement plan. He entered
$20,000 on line 16b of Form 1040 because that is the
taxable amount that was rolled over in 2016.
The total balance in his Roth IRA as of January 1,
2023, was $105,000 ($50,000 in contributions from 2000
through 2022 + $10,000 from the 2005 conversion +
$20,000 from the 2016 rollover + $25,000 from earnings).
He hasn't taken any early distribution from his Roth IRA
before 2023. In 2023, he made a contribution of $5,500 to
his Roth IRA.
In August 2023 he took a $85,500 early distribution
from his Roth IRA to use as a down payment on the pur-
chase of his first home. See his filled out Illustrated Re-
capture Amount Allocation Chart to see how he allocated
the amounts from the above transactions. Based on his al-
location, he would enter $20,000 on his 2023 Form 5329,
line 1 (see Amount to include on Form 5329, line 1, ear-
lier). He should also report $10,000 on his 2023 Form
5329, line 2, and enter exception 09 because that amount
isn't subject to the 10% additional tax on early distribu-
tions.
How Do You Figure the Taxable Part?
To figure the taxable part of a distribution that isn't a quali-
fied distribution, complete Form 8606, Part III.
Must You Withdraw or Use
Assets?
You aren't required to take distributions from your Roth
IRA at any age. The minimum distribution rules that apply
to traditional IRAs don't apply to Roth IRAs while the
owner is alive. However, after the death of a Roth IRA
owner, certain of the minimum distribution rules that apply
to traditional IRAs also apply to Roth IRAs as explained
later under Distributions After Owner's Death.
Minimum distributions. You can't use your Roth IRA
to satisfy minimum distribution requirements for your tradi-
tional IRA. Nor can you use distributions from traditional
IRAs for required distributions from Roth IRAs. See Distri-
butions to beneficiaries, later.
Distributions After Owner's Death
If a Roth IRA owner dies, the minimum distribution rules
that apply to traditional IRAs apply to Roth IRAs as though
the Roth IRA owner died before their required beginning
date. See When Can You Withdraw or Use Assets? in
chapter 1.
Distributions to beneficiaries. Generally, the entire in-
terest in the Roth IRA must be distributed by the end of
the 5th or 10th calendar year, as applicable, after the year
of the owner's death unless the interest is payable to an
eligible designated beneficiary over the life or life expect-
ancy of the eligible designated beneficiary. See When
Must You Withdraw Assets? (Required Minimum Distribu-
tions) in chapter 1.
If paid as an annuity, the entire interest must be payable
over a period not greater than the designated beneficiary's
life expectancy and distributions must begin before the
end of the calendar year following the year of death. Distri-
butions from another Roth IRA can't be substituted for
these distributions unless the other Roth IRA was inheri-
ted from the same decedent.
If the sole beneficiary is the spouse, they can either de-
lay distributions until the decedent would have reached
age 73 or treat the Roth IRA as their own.
Combining with other Roth IRAs. A beneficiary can
combine an inherited Roth IRA with another Roth IRA
maintained by the beneficiary only if the beneficiary either:
Inherited the other Roth IRA from the same decedent,
or
Was the spouse of the decedent and the sole benefi-
ciary of the Roth IRA and elects to treat it as their own
IRA.
Distributions that aren't qualified distributions. If a
distribution to a beneficiary isn't a qualified distribution, it
is generally includible in the beneficiary's gross income in
the same manner as it would have been included in the
owner's income had it been distributed to the IRA owner
when they were alive.
If the owner of a Roth IRA dies before the end of:
The 5-year period beginning with the first tax year for
which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA set up
for the owner's benefit, or
The 5-year period starting with the year of a conver-
sion contribution from a traditional IRA or a rollover
from a qualified retirement plan to a Roth IRA.
Each type of contribution is divided among multiple bene-
ficiaries according to the pro-rata share of each. See Or-
dering Rules for Distributions, earlier.
Example. When Ms. Hibbard died in 2023, her Roth
IRA contained regular contributions of $4,000, a conver-
sion contribution of $10,000 that was made in 2019, and
earnings of $2,000. No distributions had been made from
her IRA. She had no basis in the conversion contribution
in 2019.
When she established this Roth IRA (her first) in 2019,
she named each of her four children as equal beneficia-
ries. Each child will receive one-fourth of each type of con-
tribution and one-fourth of the earnings. An immediate dis-
tribution of $4,000 to each child will be treated as $1,000

from regular contributions, $2,500 from conversion contri-
butions, and $500 from earnings.
In this case, because the distributions are made before
the end of the applicable 5-year period for a qualified dis-
tribution, each beneficiary includes $500 in income for
2023. The 10% additional tax on early distributions
doesn't apply because the distribution was made to the
beneficiaries as a result of the death of the IRA owner.
If distributions from an inherited Roth IRA are less
than the required minimum distribution for the
year, discussed in chapter 1 under When Must
You Withdraw Assets? (Required Minimum Distributions),
you may have to pay a 25% excise tax for that year on the
amount not distributed as required. For the tax on excess
accumulations (insufficient distributions), see Excess Ac-
cumulations (Insufficient Distributions) under What Acts
Result in Penalties or Additional Taxes? in chapter 1. If this
applies to you, substitute “Roth IRAfor “traditional IRAin

Disaster-Related Relief
Introduction
Special rules apply to tax-favored withdrawals, income in-
clusion, and repayments for individuals who suffered eco-
nomic losses as a result of certain major disasters. See
Qualified Disaster Recovery Distributions and Qualified
Disaster Distributions, later, for more information.
The principles set forth in Notice 2005-92, 2005-51
I.R.B. 1165, available at IRS.gov/IRB/2020-28_IRB (which
provides guidance on the tax-favored treatment of distri-
butions for victims of Hurricane Katrina), and Notice
2020-50, 2020-28 I.R.B. 35, available at IRS.gov/IRB/
2020-28_IRB (which provides guidance on the tax-favored
treatment of distributions for individuals impacted by the
coronavirus pandemic), generally also apply to these
rules.
If you received a qualified disaster recovery distribution
or a qualified disaster distribution (both defined later), it is
taxable, but isn’t subject to the 10% additional tax on early
distributions. (Use Form 8915-F to figure the taxable por-
tion of the distribution.) However, the distribution is inclu-
ded in income ratably over 3 years unless you elect to re-
port the entire amount in the year of distribution. For
example, if you received a $60,000 qualified disaster dis-
tribution in 2020, you can include $20,000 in your income
in 2020, 2021, and 2022. However, you can elect to in-
clude the entire distribution in your income in the year it
was received. Also, you can repay the distribution and not
be taxed on the distribution. See Repayment of Qualified

Disaster and Qualified Disaster Recovery Distributions,
later.
The distribution limit for qualified disaster recov-
ery distributions is not the same as the limit for
qualified disaster distributions. See Distribution
limit for qualified disaster recovery distributions and Distri-
bution limit for qualified disaster distributions, for more in-
formation.
If you received a distribution from an eligible retirement
plan to purchase or construct a main home but didn’t pur-
chase or construct a main home because of a major dis-
aster, you may be able to repay the distribution and not
pay income tax or the 10% additional tax on early distribu-
tions. See Recontribution of Qualified Distributions for the
Purchase or Construction of a Main Home, later.
Use Forms 8915-C, 8915-D, and 8915-F to report quali-
fied disaster distributions and repayments. Also report re-
payments of qualified distributions for home purchases
and construction that were canceled because of qualified
2018, 2019, 2020, or later disasters on Form 8915-C,
8915-D, or 8915-F, as applicable.
Qualified Disaster Recovery
Distributions
Qualified disaster recovery distributions. A qualified
disaster recovery distribution is a qualified disaster distri-
bution that meets certain criteria as described in the SE-
CURE 2.0 Act of 2022. It is a distribution made from an
eligible retirement plan to an individual whose main home
was in a qualified disaster area during the period descri-
bed in Qualified disaster recovery distribution, later. This
individual must have sustained an economic loss because
of the disaster.
Main home (principal place of abode). Generally, your
main home is the home where you live most of the time. A
temporary absence due to special circumstances, such as
illness, education, business, military service, evacuation,
or vacation, won’t change your main home.
Qualified disaster. A qualified disaster means any major
disaster declared by the President under section 401 of
the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency As-
sistance Act after December 27, 2020.
Qualified disaster area. A qualified disaster area
means any area with respect to which the major disaster
was declared under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act. This term does not in-
clude any area which is a qualified disaster area solely by
reason of section 301 of the Taxpayer Certainty and Dis-
aster Tax Relief Act of 2020.
A qualified disaster area under section 301 of the
Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of
2020 would be a major disaster that was declared
by the President during the period between January 1,
2020, and February 25, 2021. Also, this disaster must

have an incident period that began on or after December
28, 2019, and on or before December 27, 2020, and must
have ended no later than January 26, 2021. The definition
of a qualified disaster loss does not extend to any major
disaster which has been declared only by reason of
COVID-19.
Incident period. The incident period for any qualified
disaster is the period specified by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) as the period during which
the disaster occurred.
Qualified disaster recovery distribution. A qualified
disaster recovery distribution is any distribution:
Made on or after the first day of the incident period of
a qualified disaster and before the date that is 180
days after the applicable date with respect to such dis-
aster; and
Made to an individual whose principal place of abode
at any time during the incident period of such qualified
disaster is located in the qualified disaster area; and
That individual has sustained an economic loss by
reason of such qualified disaster.
Applicable date. The term applicable date means the
latest of:
December 29, 2022;
The first date of the incident period for the qualified
disaster; or
The declaration date of the qualified disaster.
Distribution limit for qualified disaster recovery dis-
tributions. The total of your qualified disaster recovery

ter. If you take distributions from more than one type of
plan, such as a 401(k) plan and an IRA, and the total
amount of your distribution exceeds $22,000, you may al-
locate the $22,000 limit among the plans by any reasona-
ble method you choose.
Economic loss. Qualified disaster distributions are per-
mitted without regard to your need or the actual amount of
your economic loss. Examples of an economic loss in-
clude, but aren’t limited to:
1. Loss, damage to, or destruction of real or personal
property from fire, flooding, looting, vandalism, theft,
wind, or other cause;
2. Loss related to displacement from your home; or
3. Loss of livelihood due to temporary or permanent lay-
offs.

A qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus
plan (including a 401(k) plan).
The federal Thrift Savings Plan.
A qualified annuity plan.
A tax-sheltered annuity contract.
A governmental section 457 deferred compensation

Qualified Disaster
Distributions
The definition of a qualified disaster distribution is a distri-
bution made from an eligible retirement plan to an individ-
ual whose main home was in a qualified disaster area (de-
scribed next) at any time during that disaster's incident
period and who sustained an economic loss because of
the disaster.
Qualified disaster area for qualified disaster distri-
butions. A qualified disaster area is any area with re-
spect to which a major disaster was declared after 2017
and before February 26, 2021, by the President under
section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, except the California wildfire
disaster area defined in the Bipartisan Budget Act of
2018, or any area with respect to which a major disaster
has been declared solely due to COVID-19.
Incident period for qualified distributions. The inci-
dent period for any qualified disaster is the period speci-
fied by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) as the period during which the disaster occurred,
but not including any dates before 2018. This includes
those disasters that occurred on or after December 28,
2020, and continued no later than January 26, 2021.
Qualified disaster distribution. Qualified disaster distri-
butions for 2018, 2019, and 2020 disasters are those dis-
tributions from an eligible retirement plan:
1. Made on or after the first day of the incident period of
a qualified disaster and before June 17, 2020 (before
June 25, 2021, for a qualified 2020 disaster);
2. Made to an individual whose main home at any time
during the incident period of such qualified disaster
was in the qualified disaster area; and
3. That individual sustained an economic loss because
of the disaster.
Distribution limit for qualified disaster distributions.
The total of your qualified disaster distributions from all
plans is limited to $100,000 per disaster for certain major
disasters that occurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020. If you
take distributions from more than one type of plan, such
as a 401(k) plan and an IRA, and the total amount of your
distributions exceeds $100,000 for a single disaster, you
may allocate the $100,000 limit among the plans by any
reasonable method you choose.
Example. In 2020, you received a distribution of
$50,000. In 2021, you receive a distribution of $125,000

for the same disaster. Separately, each distribution meets
the requirements for a qualified disaster distribution. If you
decide to treat the entire $50,000 received in 2020 as a
qualified disaster distribution, only $50,000 of the 2021
distribution can be treated as a qualified disaster distribu-
tion for the same disaster.
Taxation of Qualified Disaster
and Qualified Disaster
Recovery Distributions
Qualified disaster or qualified disaster recovery distribu-
tions are included in income in equal amounts over 3
years. However, if you elect, you can include the entire
distribution in your income in the year it was received.
Qualified disaster or qualified disaster recovery distri-
butions aren’t subject to the 10% additional tax (or the ad-
ditional 25% tax for certain distributions from SIMPLE
IRAs) on early distributions from qualified retirement plans
(including IRAs). Also, if you are receiving substantially
equal periodic payments from a qualified retirement plan,
the receipt of a qualified disaster distribution (or qualified
disaster recovery distribution) from that plan won't be trea-
ted as a change in those substantially equal payments
merely because of that distribution. However, any distribu-
tions you received in excess of the $100,000 qualified dis-
aster distribution limit (or the $22,000 qualified disaster re-
covery distribution limit), may be subject to the additional
tax on early distributions.
Repayment of Qualified
Disaster and Qualified Disaster
Recovery Distributions
If you choose, you can generally repay any portion of a
qualified disaster distribution (or qualified disaster recov-
ery distribution) that is eligible for tax-free rollover treat-
ment to an eligible retirement plan. Also, you can repay a
qualified disaster distribution made on account of a hard-
ship from a retirement plan. However, see Exceptions,
later, for qualified disaster distributions (or qualified disas-
ter recovery distributions) you cannot repay.
You have 3 years from the day after the date you re-
ceived the qualified disaster distribution (or qualified dis-
aster recovery distribution) to make a repayment. The
amount of your repayment can't be more than the amount
of the original distribution. Amounts that are repaid are
treated as trustee-to-trustee transfers and are not included
in income. Also, for purposes of the one-rollover-per-year
limitation for IRAs, a repayment to an IRA is not consid-
ered a rollover.
For more information on how to report distributions and
repayments, see the Instructions for Form 8915-C (in the
case of qualified 2018 disasters), the Instructions for Form
8915-D (in the case of qualified 2019 disasters), or the In-
structions for Form 8915-F (in the case of qualified distri-
butions received in 2020 and later years).
Exceptions. You cannot repay the following types of
distributions.
1. Qualified disaster distributions (or qualified disaster
recovery distributions) received as a beneficiary
(other than as a surviving spouse).
2. Required minimum distributions.
3. Periodic payments (other than from an IRA) that are
for:
a. A period of 10 years or more,
b. Your life or life expectancy, or
c. The joint lives or joint life expectancies of you and
your beneficiary.
Repayment of distributions if reporting under the
1-year election. If you elect to include all of your quali-
fied disaster distributions (or qualified disaster recovery
distributions) received in a year in income for that year and
then repay any portion of the distribution during the allow-
able 3-year period, the amount repaid will reduce the
amount included in income for the year of distribution. If
the repayment is made after the due date (including exten-
sions) for your return for the year of distribution, you will
need to file, with an amended return, a revised Form
8915-C (if the repayment is for a qualified 2018 disaster
distribution), a revised Form 8915-D (if the repayment is
for a qualified 2019 disaster distribution), or a revised
Form 8915-F (in the case of qualified distributions re-
ceived in 2020 and later years). See Amending Your Re-
turn, later.
Example. Maria received a $19,000 qualified disaster
recovery distribution on February 15, 2023. After receiving
a reimbursement from her insurance company for a casu-
alty loss, Maria repays $19,000 of the qualified disaster re-
covery distribution on September 10, 2023. She reports
the distribution and repayment on Form 8915-F, which she
files with her timely filed 2023 tax return. As a result, no
portion of the distribution is included in income on her re-
turn.
Repayment of distributions if reporting under the
3-year method. If you are reporting the distribution in in-
come over the 3-year period and you repay any portion of
the distribution to an eligible retirement plan before filing
your tax return, the repayment will reduce the portion of
the distribution that is included in income for the year. If
you repay a portion after the due date (including exten-
sions) for filing your return, the repayment will reduce the
portion of the distribution that is included in income on
your next year’s return, unless you are eligible to amend
your applicable prior year return or returns. (This would be
a return for a year beginning the year of the distribution
and included in the 3-year period.)

The type and rule above prints on all proofs including departmental reproduction proofs. MUST be removed before printing.
If, during a year in the 3-year period, you repay
more than is otherwise includible in income for
that year, the excess may be carried forward or
back to reduce the amount included in income for the
year.
Example. John received an $18,000 qualified disaster
recovery distribution on November 15, 2023. He doesn’t
elect to include the entire distribution in his 2023 income
but elects to include $6,000 on each of his 2023, 2024,
and 2025 tax returns. On November 10, 2024, John re-
pays $9,000. He makes no other repayments during the
allowable 3-year period. John may report the distribution
and repayment in either of the following two ways.
Report $0 in income on his 2024 return and carry the
$3,000 excess repayment ($9,000 -$6,000) forward to
2025 and reduce the amount reported in that year to
$3,000.
Report $0 in income on his 2024 return, report $6,000
on his 2025 return, and file an amended return for
2023 to reduce the amount previously included in in-
come to $3,000 ($6,000 - $3,000).
Reporting repayments. See Form 8915-C (for qualified
2018 disaster distributions), Form 8915-D (for qualified
2019 disaster distributions), or Form 8915-F (for qualified
2020 disaster distributions) if you received a qualified dis-
tribution that you repaid, in whole or in part, before June
18, 2020 (June 25, 2021, for qualified 2020 distributions).
Also, use Form 8915-F for qualified disaster recovery dis-
tributions that you receive as a result of qualified disasters
occurring after January 25, 2021.
Recontribution of Qualified
Distributions for the Purchase
or Construction of a Main
Home
If you received a qualified distribution to purchase or con-
struct a main home in certain major disaster areas, you
can recontribute all or any part of that distribution to an eli-
gible retirement plan.
Applicable recontribution period. You can make this
recontribution (or recontributions) during the following pe-
riods:
On or after the first day of the incident period of the
qualified disaster and before June 17, 2020, for quali-
fied 2018 and 2019 disasters; or
On or after the first day of the incident period of the
qualified disaster and before June 25, 2021, for quali-
fied 2020 disasters; or
On or after the first day of the incident period of a
qualified disaster under the SECURE 2.0 Act of 2020
TIP
and ending on the date that is 180 days after the appli-
cable date for that disaster.
Note. A qualified disaster under the SECURE 2.0 Act
of 2020 is any major disaster declared by the President
under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act after December 27, 2020.
Qualified home purchase distribution. To be a quali-
fied distribution for the purpose of a home purchase or
construction, the distribution must meet all of the following
requirements.
1. The distribution is a hardship distribution from a
401(k) plan, a hardship distribution from a tax-shel-
tered annuity plan (403(b) plan), or a qualified
first-time homebuyer distribution from an IRA.
2. The distribution was received during the period begin-
ning on the date which is 180 days before the first day
of the incident period of the qualified disaster and
ending on the date which is 30 days after the last day
of such incident period.
3. The distribution was to be used to purchase or con-
struct a main home in the disaster area and the home
was not purchased or constructed because of the dis-
aster.
Any amount that is recontributed during the applicable
recontribution period, is treated as a trustee-to-trustee
transfer and is not included in income. Also, for purposes
of the one-rollover-per-year limitation for IRAs, a recontri-
bution to an IRA is not considered a rollover.
A qualified distribution not recontributed during the ap-
plicable recontribution period, may be taxable for the year
distributed and subject to the additional 10% tax (or the
additional 25% tax for certain SIMPLE IRAs) on early dis-
tributions.
See Form 8915-C (for qualified 2018 disaster distribu-
tions), Form 8915-D (for qualified 2019 disaster distribu-
tions), or Form 8915-F (for qualified 2020 disaster distribu-
tions) if you received a qualified distribution that you
recontributed, in whole or in part, before the applicable re-
contribution period. See Form 8915-F for qualified disas-
ters that occur after January 25, 2021.
Coronavirus-Related
Distributions
In tax year 2020, you were able to take a coronavirus-rela-
ted distribution from a retirement plan if that distribution
was made:
1. Before December 31, 2020; and
2. To a qualified individual.
Generally, you were a qualified individual if you, your
spouse, or your dependent was diagnosed with the virus
SARS-Covid-2 or with coronavirus disease 2019 or if you

experienced adverse financial consequences as a result
of the coronavirus pandemic.
Repayment of Qualified
Coronavirus-Related Distributions
The 1-year election. If you made a qualified coronavi-
rus-related distribution before December 31, 2020, you
could elect to include all that distribution in your income
for 2020 and then repay any portion of it during the allowa-
ble 3-year period. The amount repaid reduces the amount
included in income for the year of the distribution.
The 3-year election. If you are reporting the qualified co-
ronavirus-related distribution in income over a 3-year pe-
riod and, during a year in the 3-year period, you repay
more than the amount that is otherwise includible income
for that year, the excess may be carried forward or back to
reduce the amount included in income for the year.
If the repayment is made after the due date (including
extensions) for your return for the year of distribution, you
will need to file a revised Form 8915-F with an amended
return. See Amending Your Return, later.
Additional Disaster Relief
Issues
Amending Your Return
If, after filing your original return, you make a repayment,
the repayment may reduce the amount of your qualified
disaster distributions that were previously included in in-
come. Depending on when a repayment is made, you may
need to file an amended tax return to refigure your taxable
income.
If you make a repayment by the due date of your origi-
nal return (including extensions), include the repayment
on your amended return.
If you make a repayment after the due date of your orig-
inal return (including extensions), include it on your amen-
ded return only if either of the following applies.
You elected to include all of your qualified disaster dis-
tributions in income in the year of the distribution (not
over 3 years) on your original return.
The amount of the repayment exceeds the portion of
the qualified disaster distributions that are includible in
income for 2021 and you choose to carry the excess
back to your 2019 or 2020 tax return.
Example. You received a qualified disaster distribution
in the amount of $90,000 on October 16, 2019. You
choose to spread the $90,000 over 3 years ($30,000 in in-
come for 2019, 2020, and 2021). On November 19, 2021,
you make a repayment of $45,000. For 2021, none of the
qualified disaster distribution is includible in income. The
excess repayment of $15,000 can be carried back to 2020
or 2019, as applicable.
File Form 1040-X to amend a return you have already
filed. Generally, Form 1040-X must be filed within 3 years
after the date the original return was filed, or within 2 years
after the date the tax was paid, whichever is later.
Form 8915-F Replaces Form 8915-E
Form 8915-F replaces Form 8915-E for reporting qualified
2020 disaster distributions and repayments of those distri-
butions made in 2021, 2022, and 2023, as applicable. In
previous years, distributions and repayments would be re-
ported on the applicable Form 8915 for that year's disas-
ters. For example, Form 8915-D, Qualified 2019 Disaster
Retirement Plan Distributions and Repayments, would be
used to report qualified 2019 disaster distributions and re-
payments.
Form 8915-F is a forever form. Beginning in 2021, addi-
tional alphabetical Forms 8915 will not be issued. For
more information, see the Instructions for Form 8915-F.
Mandatory 60-Day Postponement
Certain taxpayers affected by a federally declared disaster
that is declared after December 20, 2019, may be eligible
for a mandatory 60-day postponement for certain tax
deadlines such as filing or paying income, excise, and em-
ployment taxes; and making contributions to a traditional
IRA or Roth IRA.
The period beginning on the earliest incident date
specified in the disaster declaration and ending on the
date that is 60 days after either the earliest incident date
or the date of the declaration, whichever is later, is the pe-
riod during which the deadlines are postponed.
For information about disaster relief available in your
area, including postponements, go to IRS News Around
the Nation.

Need someone to prepare your tax return? There are
various types of tax return preparers, including enrolled
agents, certified public accountants (CPAs), accountants,
and many others who don’t have professional credentials.
If you choose to have someone prepare your tax return,
choose that preparer wisely. A paid tax preparer is:
Primarily responsible for the overall substantive accu-
racy of your return,
Required to sign the return, and
Required to include their preparer tax identification
number (PTIN).
Although the tax preparer always signs the return,
you're ultimately responsible for providing all the
information required for the preparer to accurately
prepare your return and for the accuracy of every item re-
ported on the return. Anyone paid to prepare tax returns
for others should have a thorough understanding of tax
matters. For more information on how to choose a tax pre-
parer, go to Tips for Choosing a Tax Preparer on IRS.gov.
Employers can register to use Business Services On-
line. The Social Security Administration (SSA) offers on-

and individuals who process Form W-2, Wage and Tax
Statement, and Form W-2c, Corrected Wage and Tax
Statement.

Using direct deposit. The safest and easiest way to re-

which securely and electronically transfers your refund di-
rectly into your financial account. Direct deposit also
avoids the possibility that your check could be lost, stolen,
destroyed, or returned undeliverable to the IRS. Eight in
10 taxpayers use direct deposit to receive their refunds. If
you don’t have a bank account, go to IRS.gov/

Reporting and resolving your tax-related identity
theft issues.
Tax-related identity theft happens when someone
steals your personal information to commit tax fraud.
Your taxes can be affected if your SSN is used to file a
fraudulent return or to claim a refund or credit.
The IRS doesn’t initiate contact with taxpayers by
email, text messages (including shortened links), tele-
phone calls, or social media channels to request or
verify personal or financial information. This includes
requests for personal identification numbers (PINs),
passwords, or similar information for credit cards,
banks, or other financial accounts.
Go to IRS.gov/IdentityTheft, the IRS Identity Theft
Central webpage, for information on identity theft and
data security protection for taxpayers, tax professio-
nals, and businesses. If your SSN has been lost or
stolen or you suspect you’re a victim of tax-related
identity theft, you can learn what steps you should
take.

Get an Identity Protection PIN (IP PIN). IP PINs are
six-digit numbers assigned to taxpayers to help pre-
vent the misuse of their SSNs on fraudulent federal in-
come tax returns. When you have an IP PIN, it pre-
vents someone else from filing a tax return with your
SSN. To learn more, go to IRS.gov/IPPIN.
Ways to check on the status of your refund.
Go to IRS.gov/Refunds.
Download the official IRS2Go app to your mobile de-
vice to check your refund status.
Call the automated refund hotline at 800-829-1954.
The IRS can’t issue refunds before mid-February
for returns that claimed the EIC or the additional
child tax credit (ACTC). This applies to the entire
refund, not just the portion associated with these credits.
Making a tax payment. Payments of U.S. tax must be
remitted to the IRS in U.S. dollars. Digital assets are not
accepted. Go to IRS.gov/Payments for information on how
to make a payment using any of the following options.
IRS Direct Pay: Pay your individual tax bill or estimated
tax payment directly from your checking or savings ac-
count at no cost to you.
Debit Card, Credit Card, or Digital Wallet: Choose an
approved payment processor to pay online or by
phone.
Electronic Funds Withdrawal: Schedule a payment
when filing your federal taxes using tax return prepara-
tion software or through a tax professional.
Electronic Federal Tax Payment System: Best option
for businesses. Enrollment is required.
Check or Money Order: Mail your payment to the ad-
dress listed on the notice or instructions.
Cash: You may be able to pay your taxes with cash at
a participating retail store.
Same-Day Wire: You may be able to do same-day
wire from your financial institution. Contact your finan-
cial institution for availability, cost, and time frames.
Note. The IRS uses the latest encryption technology to
ensure that the electronic payments you make online, by
phone, or from a mobile device using the IRS2Go app are
safe and secure. Paying electronically is quick, easy, and
faster than mailing in a check or money order.
What if I can’t pay now? Go to IRS.gov/Payments for
more information about your options.
Apply for an online payment agreement (IRS.gov/
OPA) to meet your tax obligation in monthly install-
ments if you can’t pay your taxes in full today. Once
you complete the online process, you will receive im-
mediate notification of whether your agreement has
been approved.
Use the Offer in Compromise Pre-Qualifier to see if
you can settle your tax debt for less than the full

amount you owe. For more information on the Offer in
Compromise program, go to IRS.gov/OIC.
Filing an amended return. Go to IRS.gov/Form1040X
for information and updates.
Checking the status of your amended return. Go to
IRS.gov/WMAR to track the status of Form 1040-X amen-
ded returns.
It can take up to 3 weeks from the date you filed
your amended return for it to show up in our sys-
tem, and processing it can take up to 16 weeks.
Understanding an IRS notice or letter you’ve re-
ceived. Go to IRS.gov/Notices to find additional informa-
tion about responding to an IRS notice or letter.
Responding to an IRS notice or letter. You can now
upload responses to all notices and letters using the
Document Upload Tool. For notices that require additional
action, taxpayers will be redirected appropriately on
IRS.gov to take further action. To learn more about the
tool, go to IRS.gov/Upload.
Note. You can use Schedule LEP (Form 1040), Re-
quest for Change in Language Preference, to state a pref-
erence to receive notices, letters, or other written commu-
nications from the IRS in an alternative language. You may
not immediately receive written communications in the re-
quested language. The IRS’s commitment to LEP taxpay-
ers is part of a multi-year timeline that began providing
translations in 2023. You will continue to receive communi-
cations, including notices and letters, in English until they
are translated to your preferred language.
Contacting your local TAC. Keep in mind, many ques-
tions can be answered on IRS.gov without visiting a TAC.
Go to IRS.gov/LetUsHelp for the topics people ask about
most. If you still need help, TACs provide tax help when a
tax issue can’t be handled online or by phone. All TACs
now provide service by appointment, so you’ll know in ad-
vance that you can get the service you need without long
wait times. Before you visit, go to IRS.gov/TACLocator to
find the nearest TAC and to check hours, available serv-
ices, and appointment options. Or, on the IRS2Go app,
under the Stay Connected tab, choose the Contact Us op-
tion and click on “Local Offices.

these rights mean to you and how they apply. These are
your rights. Know them. Use them.
What Can TAS Do for You?
TAS can help you resolve problems that you can’t resolve
with the IRS. And their service is free. If you qualify for
their assistance, you will be assigned to one advocate
who will work with you throughout the process and will do
everything possible to resolve your issue. TAS can help
you if:
Your problem is causing financial difficulty for you,
your family, or your business;
You face (or your business is facing) an immediate
threat of adverse action; or
You’ve tried repeatedly to contact the IRS but no one
has responded, or the IRS hasn’t responded by the
date promised.

many taxpayers. If you know of one of these broad issues,
report it to TAS at IRS.gov/SAMS. Be sure to not include
any personal taxpayer information.
Low Income Taxpayer Clinics (LITCs)
LITCs are independent from the IRS and TAS. LITCs rep-
resent individuals whose income is below a certain level
and who need to resolve tax problems with the IRS. LITCs
can represent taxpayers in audits, appeals, and tax collec-
tion disputes before the IRS and in court. In addition,
LITCs can provide information about taxpayer rights and
responsibilities in different languages for individuals who
speak English as a second language. Services are offered
for free or a small fee. For more information or to find an
LITC near you, go to the LITC page at
TaxpayerAdvocate.IRS.gov/LITC or see IRS Pub. 4134,
