  1. 1Account holders must withdraw the Required Minimum Distribution from tax-deferred retirement accounts by the RMD deadline of December 31 each year.
  2. 2Those who do not withdraw the RMD before the deadline will face an excise tax at a penalty rate of 25% of the unwithdrawn amount.
  3. 3If the error is corrected within 2 years, a reduced penalty rate of 10% of the unwithdrawn amount will apply.

So what's the key point?

Money must be withdrawn from retirement accounts by a specific date. If not withdrawn on time, a penalty of 25% of the unwithdrawn amount must be paid.
