Question

when do I file a 5329 for a late RMD and do I put the distribution on the RMD tax year or the year I did the RMD

So I just determined doing 2021 taxes that my RDM was never processed,  so I do not have a 2021 1099R.  I am doing my taxes now and would like to get them files in the next day or so.  I will be processing the RDM late (today).. so do I send in the 2021 return with a 5329 and an explanation or do I send in the 2021 return with nothing for an RMD and file an amended return when I get the 1099 from the brokerage house?

A 2021 Form 5329 would be included with your 2021 tax return to request the waiver of the 50% excess accumulation penalty.  The distribution occurring in 2022 will be reportable and taxable on your 2022 tax return along with your 2022 RMD, not on your 2021 tax return.
