Anyone who faces a documented financial hardship, medical emergency, or qualified disaster that makes the required minimum distribution unaffordable may request a waiver using Form 5452.
The form applies to traditional IRAs, SEP IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, and other qualified retirement plans that are subject to RMD rules.
Submit the form before the RMD due date for the tax year you are requesting a waiver. Late submissions will be denied.
Attach copies of medical bills, a disaster declaration, unemployment statements, or any other proof that demonstrates your inability to take the RMD.
The IRS does not accept an electronic filing for Form 5452. You must print the completed form and mail it to the address listed in the instructions.
If denied, you must take the RMD for that year and may be subject to a penalty. You can appeal the decision by providing additional documentation.
While not required, a tax professional can help ensure you meet all eligibility criteria and provide the correct supporting documents.
