Missed RMD for 2022

If you haven't taken the RMD then take it as soon as possible.

You will need to file Form 5329 and request a waiver of the penalty if you have reasonable cause. Please see Relief for Reasonable Cause for additional information.

Unfortunately, this can only be done using the "forms" mode which is only available with the TurboTax Desktop software if you do not have a Form 1099-R to file:

1. Enter the forms mode and click on "Open Form" and type "5329".
2. Scroll down to Part IX line 52 and enter the RMD amount that should have been taken. On line 53 enter the amount of the RMD that was actually taken (probably zero if it was missed).
3. Then in the box right under line 53 "Waver of Tax Smart Worksheet" enter the same amount as line 52 (the RMD amount). 
4. Click the "Explanation" button and enter the reason for missing the RMD and your statement requesting a waiver.
