Who takes an RMD at 92

Turning 92 in 2026 means you were born in 1934. Your RMDs started at 70½ under the rules before the SECURE Act. Anyone born in 1960 or later starts at 75 instead, so a first RMD at 75 is due from 2035. Traditional, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, 401(k), 403(b) and 457(b) plans all count. Roth IRAs, and since 2024 Roth 401(k)s, need none while you are alive. Missing one costs a 25% excise tax on the shortfall, cut to 10% if you correct it in time.

Tax on an RMD at 92

On $500,000 the RMD at 92 is $46,296. The federal tax it adds on 2026 rules, estimates:

  • Married, $42,000 of Social Security: about $2,460, 5% of the RMD.
