It should be duly noted that taxpayers who turned 70-1/2 during 2013, in most cases, must begin receiving Required Minimum Distributions (hereinafter "RMDs") from Individual Retirement Accounts (hereinafter "IRAs") and workplace retirement plans such as 401(k), 403(b) and 457 plans by Tuesday, April 1 of 2014.
The deadline only applies to RMD for the first year. For all later years, the RMD must be made by December 31.
