Form 5329

Apr 01, 2009 1 Replies

While watching my General Motors stock and my retirement go down the drain last year I forgot to take a required minimum distribution form an inherited IRA. I've found Form 5329 and understand the 50% penalty.



My broker is planning on sending me last year's distribution this year and I'm wondering if it will be subject to normal taxes even though I've paid



50% penalty.

Thanks, Jim


Don't do it! You're not required to take any minimum distribution this year (new law).

However, yes, any distribution you take this year is subject to normal taxes.
