TurboTax Home and Biz for the 2020 has a statement that you must take a RMD when you are 70 1/2 years old. Congress changed that date to 72 years old. Please fix this!

Indeed, starting from tax year 2020, Required minimum distributions (RMDs) must be taken each year beginning with the year you turn age 72 (instead of 70 1/2 up to tax year 2019).

 

I have tested the program, and the age reference has been changed to 72 (instead of 70 1/2). Your program may need updating. In the program, please click on Online, then Check for updates.
