I'm sure the answer is Yes, but I can't find anything definitive in my research:
DW's birthday is December, when she turns 72. My understanding is that since she turns 73 in December 2024, her first REQUIRED RMD withdrawal is by April 1, 2025. But we would then have to take a 2nd RMD by end of 2025.
If, instead, we start monthly withdrawals beginning January 2024, whereby the monthly amounts will accrue to whatever her RMD is, are we in full compliance, and just continue that process for each subsequent year?
