It is perfectly OK to withdraw more than required for your RMD. There is no tax consequence other than the tax you have to pay on the amount withdrawn.

 

The RMDs have been waived for tax year 2020.

 

Please read this IRS document for more information.

 

In TurboTax, if you withdrew in 2020 more than your RMD, you can choose either Only part of this distribution was a RMD or None of this withdrawal was a RMD. There is no penalty.
