Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) generally are minimum amounts that a retirement plan account owner must withdraw annually starting with the year that he or she reaches 72 (70 ½ if you reach 70 ½ before January 1, 2020), if later, the year in which he or she retires.
Can you put your RMD back into your IRA?
If you took an RMD from an IRA last year and then paid it back in time, the Form 1099-R you get this year from your IRA custodian will show the original payout – but it won’t account for the later return of the funds. In other words, the tax-free rollover won’t show up on the form.
How do I reinvest my IRA distribution?
The simplest option you have for reinvesting your unneeded required minimum distribution is to deposit it into a taxable brokerage account. Although you won’t get the tax shield that an IRA provides, you can still continue to earn a return.
