403(b) Distributions to satisfy an RMD

Can a distribution be taken out of a 403(b) in order to satisfy a person’s RMD (as opposed to taking from their IRA account)? Please note this person is still employed by the company that provides the 403(b).



No. 403b RMDs can be aggregated with other 403b account RMDs and IRA RMDs can be aggregated with other IRA account RMDs, but a 403b RMD and an IRA RMD cannot be aggregated with each other. In other words, the IRA RMD must be satisfied with a distribution from that IRA or another owned IRA account, not from the 403b. 

Thank you!
