IRS clarifies required minimum distribution reporting

The IRS provided guidance to financial institutions regarding reporting for required minimum distributions (RMDs), the rules for which were changed by the SECURE 2.0 Act.
The SECURE 2.0 Act, which was enacted as Division T of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, P.L. 117-328, delayed the required beginning date for RMDs to age 73, allowing IRA owners who turn 72 in 2023 to not take an RMD for that year.
Under the relief provided in Notice 2023-23, which was issued Tuesday, the IRS said an RMD statement sent by a financial institution to an IRA owner turning 72 this year will not be considered to be improperly sent, provided the financial institution notifies the owner by April 28.
The SECURE 2.0 Act did not change the required beginning date for IRA owners who reached age 72 before Jan. 1, 2023. To reduce misunderstanding among IRA owners, the IRS is encouraging all financial institutions to remind IRA owners who reached age 72 in 2022 that they are still required to take those distributions by April 1, 2023.
The SECURE 2.0 Act contains several retirement and tax provisions, which mostly focus on expanding coverage, increasing retirement savings, and simplifying and clarifying retirement plan rules, but other changes were also included.

Why Taxes? Why Now?
"We opened up shop here in the Wylie, Sachse, Murphy area in 2018 with a passion to help start-ups and small businesses get on top of their bookkeeping,” Allen explains.
“What we found was a lot of folks just don’t get the tax game. And now that there are new laws and regulations, many are starting to panic; but trust me, small businesses have everything to gain with the new Section 179 Deductions.
“After filing a few late returns, in that first year, we learned that there is a real need for some tax expertise. We spent a good part of 2018 getting up to speed on tax law, and now I am an Enrolled Agent, federally licensed to practice before the IRS on behalf of my clients and anyone else who may be facing the daunting ‘IRS boogie man.’
“During tax season, we are prepared to handle it all.
For individuals we have helped folks with past-due tax returns and work with the IRS to eliminate all penalties... sometimes we given get rid of the tax debt itself.
For companies the biggest problem businesses of all sizes have is filing and paying their payroll taxes - both state and federal - on time. The rules for 940s and 941s are extremely confusing so we have helped a lot of companies catch up.
If they like our work, they sometimes retain us for bookkeeping and payroll.
