IRS No Longer Intends to Amend RMD Rules: In Notice 2019-18, the IRS informed taxpayers that it no longer intends to amend the required minimum distribution (RMD) regulations under Code Sec. 401(a)(9) to address the practice of offering retirees and beneficiaries who are currently receiving annuity payments under a defined benefit plan a temporary option to elect a lump-sum payment in lieu of future annuity payments. The IRS had previously said, in Notice 2015-49, that it intended to propose amendments to the RMD regulations under Code Sec. 401(a)(9) to address the use of lump-sum payments to replace ongoing annuity payments under a qualified defined benefit plan
