Under previous Secure Act rules, individuals were required to start taking RMDs from their retirement accounts by age 72 which was an increase from the long previous age of 70 ½, but RMDs have been pushed out one more year to age 73 for individuals who were not age 72 by 12/31/22. Secure Act 2.0 also raised the RMD age to 75 for those individuals who attain age 73 after 12/31/32. This change recognizes the increasing longevity of Americans and allows individuals to keep their funds invested for a longer period, potentially growing their retirement savings.
Also, effective 2024, Roth Employer plans will no longer need to take lifetime RMDs.
