RMD Waiver request

Is there a specific form or format for requesting a waiver of 50% RMD penalty for 2010, with good cause?



Yes, Form 5329. See p 6 of the attached for Instructions:

http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i5329.pdf



How do I get a waiver for custodian error?



If an RMD was missed that you requested, just file Form 5329 and use that as your “reasonable cause” for the penalty waiver.



If I missed the RMD for 2016, what year do I file the 5329 Form? Since the money came out int 2017…..



File a 2016 5329 with your 2016 return, or separately if you have already filed 2016.
