To use this table: First find the age you will be on December 31 of the current year. Then note the Life Expectancy in years. Then divide the prior year-end balance of your IRA account by the life expectancy. The result is the Required Minimum Distribution dollar amount you will need to remove from your IRA for the current year.
For example, if you were going to be 82 on December 31 of the current year, your life expectancy is 17.1 years. If the balance in your IRA as of December 31 of the prior year was $235,000 divide that amount by 17.1. The result, $12,742.69 is your Required Minimum Distribution for the current year.
