Reminders
You didn’t receive the minimum required distribution from
your qualified retirement plan. This also includes trusts and
estates that didn’t receive this amount. See Waiver of tax for
reasonable cause, later, for information on waiving the tax
on excess accumulations in qualified retirement plans.

Certain corrective distributions not subject to 10% early
distribution tax. Beginning on December 29, 2022, the 10%
additional tax on early distributions will not apply to a corrective
IRA distribution, which consists of an excessive contribution (a
contribution greater than the IRA contribution limit) and any
earnings allocable to the excessive contribution, as long as the
corrective distribution is made on or before the due date
(including extensions) of the income tax return.
If you rolled over part or all of a distribution from a
qualified retirement plan, the part rolled over isn’t subject
to the 10% additional tax on early distributions. See the
TIP
instructions for Form 1040, or 1040-NR, lines 4a and 4b or lines
5a and 5b, for how to report the rollover.
Qualified disaster distributions. The 10% additional tax on
early distributions doesn't apply to qualified disaster distributions
nor does it apply to qualified disaster recovery distributions. See
Form 8915-F for more details.

Definitions
Qualified retirement plan. A qualified retirement plan includes:
You received a distribution subject to the tax on early
distributions from a qualified retirement plan (other than a
Roth IRA). However, if distribution code 1 is correctly shown
in box 7 of all your Forms 1099-R and you owe the additional
tax on the full amount shown on each Form 1099-R, you
don’t have to file Form 5329. Instead, see the instructions for
Schedule 2 (Form 1040), line 8, in the Instructions for Form
1040, or the Instructions for Form 1040-NR, for how to report
the 10% additional tax directly on that line.

of that beneficiary within the prior 12 months. The IRS may
extend the 60-day rollover period for individuals affected by a
disaster. An ABLE rollover doesn’t include a contribution to an
ABLE account of funds distributed from a QTP account.
Program-to-program transfer. For an ABLE account, a
program-to-program transfer includes the direct transfer of the
entire balance of an ABLE account into a second ABLE account
if both accounts have the same designated beneficiary and the
first ABLE account is closed upon completion of the transfer. A
program-to-program transfer also occurs when part or all of the
balance in an ABLE account is transferred to the ABLE account
of an eligible individual who is a member of the family of the
former designated beneficiary, as long as no intervening
distribution is made to the designated beneficiary.
Traditional IRAs. For purposes of Form 5329, a traditional IRA
is any IRA, including a simplified employee pension (SEP) IRA,
other than a SIMPLE IRA or Roth IRA.
Early distribution. Generally, any distribution from your IRA,
other qualified retirement plan, or modified endowment contract
before you reach age 591/2 is an early distribution.
Qualified retirement plan rollover. Generally, a rollover is a
tax-free distribution of assets from one qualified retirement plan
that is reinvested in another plan or the same plan. Generally,
you must complete the rollover within 60 days of receiving the
distribution. Any taxable amount not rolled over must be included
in income and may be subject to the 10% additional tax on early
distributions. The IRS may extend the 60-day rollover period for
individuals affected by a disaster.
You can roll over (convert) amounts from a qualified
retirement plan to a Roth IRA. Any amount rolled over to a Roth
IRA is subject to the same rules for converting a traditional IRA to
a Roth IRA. You must include in your gross income distributions
from a qualified retirement plan that you would have had to
include in income if you hadn’t rolled them into a Roth IRA. The
10% additional tax on early distributions doesn’t apply. For more
information, see chapter 2 of Pub. 590-A.

PROC-2020-46, you may make a written certification to a plan
administrator or an IRA trustee that you missed the 60-day
rollover contribution deadline because of one or more of the
reasons listed in Rev. Proc. 2020-46. See Rev. Proc. 2020-46 for
information on how to self-certify for a waiver. Also see Time

the combined tax on Schedule 2 (Form 1040), line 8.
Note. The following were effective as of January 1, 2018.
A qualified plan loan offset is a type of plan loan offset that
meets certain requirements. In order to be a qualified plan
loan offset, the loan, at the time of the offset, must be a loan
in good standing and the offset must be solely by reason of
(1) the termination of the qualified employer plan, or (2) the
failure to meet the repayment terms is because the
employee has a severance from employment. If you meet
the requirements of a qualified plan loan offset, you have
until the due date, including extensions, to file your tax return
for the tax year in which the offset occurs to roll over the
qualified plan loan offset amount.

Part I—Additional Tax on Early
Distributions
In general, if you receive an early distribution (including an
involuntary cashout) from an IRA, other qualified retirement plan,
or modified endowment contract, the part of the distribution
included in income is generally subject to the 10% additional tax.
Distributions from Roth IRAs, later.
If a retirement account has been wrongfully levied by the
IRS, the amount returned plus interest on such amount may
be contributed to the account or to an IRA (other than an
endowment contract) to which such a rollover contribution is
permitted. You have until the due date, excluding extensions,
for filing your tax return for the tax year in which the amount
is returned to make the contribution.
•
The additional tax on early distributions doesn’t apply to any
of the following.
A qualified disaster recovery distribution (certain
distributions relating to disasters occurring on or after
January 26, 2021), or qualified disaster distributions. See
Form 8915-F for more details.
•
In-plan Roth rollover. If you are a participant in a 401(k),
403(b), or governmental 457(b) plan, your plan may permit you
to roll over amounts from those plans to a designated Roth
account within the same plan. The rollover of any untaxed
amounts must be included in income. The 10% additional tax on
early distributions doesn’t apply. For more information, see
In-plan Roth rollovers under Rollovers in Pub. 575.
A qualified distribution from a retirement plan for the birth or
adoption of a child of up to $5,000 if made during the 1-year
period beginning on the date your child was born or
adopted. Attach a statement that provides the name, age,
and TIN of the child or eligible adoptee. If the child died
before you obtained a TIN, then write that the child died on
the statement and include a copy of the child’s birth
certificate, death certificate, or hospital records.
•
ABLE rollover. For an ABLE account, a rollover means a
contribution to an ABLE account of a designated beneficiary (or
of an eligible individual who is a member of the family of the
designated beneficiary) of all or a portion of an amount
withdrawn from the designated beneficiary's ABLE account. The
contribution must be made within 60 days of the withdrawal date;
and, if the rollover is to the designated beneficiary's ABLE
account, there must have been no rollover to an ABLE account

distributions. If you converted or rolled over an amount to your
Roth IRAs in 2019 through 2023 and you received an early
distribution for 2023, the recapture amount you must include on

•
A distribution from an eligible governmental section 457
deferred compensation plan to the extent the distribution

Generally, an early distribution is allocated to your Roth IRA
contributions first, then to your conversions and rollovers on a
first-in, first-out basis. For each conversion or rollover, you must
first allocate the early distribution to the portion that was subject
to tax in the year of the conversion or rollover, and then to the
portion that wasn’t subject to tax. The recapture amount is the
sum of the early distribution amounts that you allocate to these
taxable portions of your conversions or rollovers.
The recapture amount that you must include on line 1 won’t
exceed the amount of your early distribution; and, for purposes
of determining this recapture amount, you will allocate a
contribution, conversion, or rollover amount (or portion thereof)
to an early distribution only once.

chapter 1 of Pub. 590-B for more information.
You owe this tax if you don’t receive the minimum required
distribution from your qualified retirement plan, including an IRA
or an eligible section 457 deferred compensation plan. For tax
years beginning on or after December 29, 2022, the additional
tax is 25% of the excess accumulation, which is the difference
between the amount that was required to be distributed and the
amount that was actually distributed. The tax is due for the tax
year that includes the last day by which the minimum required
distribution must be taken.The additional tax is reduced to 10%
of the excess accumulation if you meet certain requirements.
IRA (other than a Roth IRA). The minimum required
distribution must be figured separately for each IRA you own, but
you can generally withdraw the total amount from one or more of
your IRAs that are not Roth IRAs. If you are the beneficiary of an
inherited IRA, then only distributions from IRAs inherited from
the same decedent can be combined to satisfy the minimum
required distribution for all inherited IRAs from that decedent. For
more information, see Treas. Reg. 1.408-8.

same decedent can be combined to satisfy the minimum
required distribution for all inherited Roth IRAs from that
decedent. For more information, see Treas. Reg. 1.408-8.

IRA (other than a Roth IRA). Generally, you must start
receiving distributions from your IRA by April 1 of the year
following the year in which you reach age 72. However, if you
become age 72 in 2023 or later, you must start receiving
distributions from your IRA by April 1 of the year following the
year in which you reach age 73. At that time, you can receive
your entire interest in the IRA or begin receiving periodic
distributions. If you choose to receive periodic distributions, you
must receive a minimum required distribution each year. You can
figure the minimum required distribution by dividing the account
balance of your IRAs (other than Roth IRAs) on December 31 of
the year preceding the distribution by the applicable life
expectancy. For applicable life expectancies, see Figuring the
Qualified retirement plans (other than IRAs). Qualified plans
cannot aggregate distributions for purposes of meeting the
