RBD for family member employee of a 5% owner
If a qualified retirement plan allows employees who have reached 70 1/2 years of age to wait until they retire to begin distributions, can a family-member-employee of a 5% owner qualify to wait until he/she retires? Or must he/she follow the 5% owner rule?
Thanks.

Once RMDs begin for the employee family member of 5% owner, can contributions by employer and employee elective deferals continue for the RMD recipient?

Yes, contributions can continue. This is the same as for SEP or SIMPLE IRAs where both contributions and RMDs can both apply in the same year.
