DH and I did quite a bit of research on this and were going to try and wing it ourselves. We have chickened out and hired a CPA from Kemper to do our plan. When we get the final bill, I'll let you know how much we paid. We were told $50/hr.
I am doing my own 72t from my IRA at Schwab. I am using the 'easy'
method (annual recalculation). I just check my December statement to
get my official Dec 31 balance, divide that by this years divisor (34.2,
since I will turn 50 this year), and transfer that much from my IRA account
to my regular stock account. That is all there is to it.
