Q. I receive a CSRS annuity only, I don’t have any other investments, i.e. TSP, IRAs or anything close. I turned 70 1/2 in 2017 and the required minimum distributions requirement is confusing. From what I’ve read the past couple of days, it appears that I don’t require any RMD for my situation. Can you clarify?
A. If you don’t have a tax-deferred defined-contribution retirement plan account (TSP, IRA, 402b, etc.), then the RMD does not apply to you.
