“Don’t Let the IRS Gobble Up Your IRA,” yet if you listen to the national newspaper article we read yesterday, that’s exactly what the IRS will do.

This article’s author makes major mistakes, using the wrong IRA minimum distribution table in his example, using the wrong percentage when talking about required distributions from your IRA balance and more.

Ed Slott and Company IRA Technical Consultant Jeffrey Levine discusses the errors and corrects them so you know how to best take required minimum distributions from your IRA and make sure the IRS isn’t gobbling up your IRA.
