The official version of IRS Publication 590-B for the 2021 tax year includes the new life expectancy tables used to calculate RMDs from retirement accounts.

If you filed your 2021 tax return early online and opted for a direct deposit into your bank account, you may already see your refund on deposit.

If you have deductible contributions to your IRAs after age 70 1/2, they can reduce the maximum amount for your qualified charitable distributions (QCDs).

If you do an online search for the new RMD tables to use for your 2022 RMD, you might find yourself going in circles. But there are ways to locate them.

Before you sign a trusted contact form, you need to make sure your contact is just that – trusted. You also need to understand the scope of what you are agreeing to.

You can contribute to an IRA even if you also are contributing to a 401(k) plan at work, but there are some limits.

QCDs are a good way to donate to charity using your IRA account. But, there are age requirements, monetary limits and protocols to follow.

There are only a few days left before the end of the year to make charitable contributions, including QCDs, for 2021.
