L1: Changing to RMD Calculation- which balance to use?Whenperforming a one-time change from the annuitization methodto the RMD method, which balance is used to calculate the new distribution amount? 12/31? date of the change?I am asking because the example on the IRS website references the balance on 9/30. However, it is not clear whether this date applies only that that example, or if 9/30 has some significance when determining which account value to use. http://www.irs.gov/retirement/article/0,,id=103045,00.html#152009-12-29 22:26, By: LWADE, IP: [204.86.34.1]
