My understanding is OP has to take the minimum before April 1, 2016 (Jan/Feb/March 2016 is fine).
Taking some in 2-15 or earlier is fine, but does not count as RMD.
Be sure to take out the required amount as the penalties are draconian if you don't.

Is there a question here that the April 2015 withdrawal doesn't count as part of the RMD since it came before 70.5? I would think it would count as part of the 2015 RMD.
If you still need to withdraw more to meet 2015 minimum withdrawals you have until April 1 2016 to fill out your 2015 RMD, but that only works for the first year.
If your 2015 RMD is already filled, you should be able to start on the 2016 RMD with a January 2016 withdrawal. I assume your account manager or IRS tax forms will have some way of letting them know if the January 2016 withdrawal is for 2015 or 2016.

"When must I receive my required minimum distribution from my IRA?
You must take your first required minimum distribution for the year in which you turn age 70½. "
for the yr you turn 70.5.............it doesn't say after you turn 70.5
if any doubt, post question at fairmark.com in the Retirement Forum and look for Alan S. answer.

These stupid rules are worded so stupidly, which is me blaming irs for my not being smart enough.
You do have to take an RMD in the year you turn 70.5, but if you miss it, for that one time only you can make it right in the beginning of the following year in Jan/Feb/Mar to make up.
You also have to take by the end of the year you are 71.5 your RMD.
Then each year by the end of the year you have to take an RMD.
