Anyone have any insights on whether, as part of processing a return, the IRS calculates RMD's and would calculate penalties and send out notices as part of the return processing if distributions are not sufficient?  ( since they have 5498's and peoples age to calculate) .

 

Thanks!

They might have the computer hardware to do that in ten years or so.  I haven't even seen them send notices a year after filing, as they do with CP-2000.

Ive personally never seen a letter/penalty regarding this and I have to think at some point in the past 25 years, at least one client would have forgot to take it, but IRS has never mentioned it.
