How Does the SECURE Act Impact Your RMDs?
The SECURE Act, which went into effect Jan. 1, 2020, significantly changes the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) requirements for inherited accounts and increases the age that you are required to start your RMDs to age 72, if you did not reach age 70.5 by the end of 2019.
The biggest impact, however, will affect your loved ones: When they inherit IRAs and 401(k)s, their taxes could go up! So, what do these new rules mean for your 401(k)s, IRAs or other investment accounts? Find out with our SecureRMD calculator.

If you could inherit a 401(k), IRA or other retirement account from anyone other than your spouse, you are likely going to be affected by the SECURE Act. Starting January 1, 2020, the required minimum distribution on these accounts will be 10 years – meaning you’ll likely need to adjust how much you withdraw annually as compared to the previous rules. This is expected to increase the number of taxable distributions and result in higher tax revenue for the government.
On the other side, if you are doing your estate and retirement planning, you need to understand the tax impact of leaving your IRAs and 401(k)s to your heirs as the rules are changing significantly.
