No, we do not automatically distribute your RMD amount. There are factors that you should consider when taking your RMD like tax withholding or which investments you want to distribute from. To ensure that your RMD distribution meets your specific situation, we require you to contact us each year to request your distribution.
If you have a systematic distribution arrangement on your account(s) you may be satisfying your RMD requirements with the distributions. However, we do not guarantee that the amount withdrawn through a systematic arrangement is sufficient to meet your RMD requirements.
Ultimately, you are responsible for satisfying your RMD requirements each year. Consult with a qualified tax professional to ensure that you are meeting IRS requirements.
