    No, it is not new, and it does not appear on the 1099-R.  It is a Required Minimum Distribution.

     

    • If you have a 401-K of IRA, referred to as retirement accounts, the IRS requires you to take an RMD every year.
    • The IRS requires RMDs to ensure that retirement savings are taxed. 
    • This is as opposed to a pension that is paid on a regular basis and typically ends upon death.

    If you don't withdraw additional fund from your retirement accounts, the RMD is typically equal to the amount of your distribution.
