No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate calculations and information, we do not guarantee the correctness, completeness, or timeliness of any calculations, data, or information provided through SimpleRMD.

RMD calculations can be complex and depend on many factors, including but not limited to:

  • The relationship between the beneficiary and decedent
  • Whether the decedent reached their Required Beginning Date (RBD)
  • Whether the beneficiary is an Eligible Designated Beneficiary (EDB)
  • Trust structures and see-through trust qualifications
  • Successor beneficiary situations
  • Changes in tax law

SimpleRMD may not account for all possible scenarios, edge cases, or recent changes in tax law. Always verify calculations with your IRA custodian.
