Partial Transcript:

Many of you throughout your working careers have saved to a tax-deferred retirement account. That may be a 401(k), 403(b), maybe an IRA, or even a 457, and eventually, once you hit age 72, the IRS has a mandate called a required minimum distribution that forces you to take money out of that account, pay taxes on that distribution, and recycle that money into the economic system. With this responsibility comes a lot of mistakes that we commonly see. One of the biggest mistakes with the RMD is just failure to take it, which results in one of the largest tax penalties in the code. It's a 50% penalty and it's still fully taxable to you.

#2 - People just don't use the proper balance in calculating their RMD.

#3: Understand the rules with 401(k) plans are slightly different than they are with IRAs.

#4: People don't coordinate their charitable endeavors with their required minimum distribution.

#5: Spouses combine RMDs together.
