The participant’s entire interest in the custodial account must be, or begin to be, distributed not later than the participant’s required beginning date, April 1 following the calendar year in which the participant reaches age 701/2.

If, however, the designated beneficiary is the participant’s surviving spouse, then this distribution is not required to begin before the end of the calendar year in which the participant would have reached age 701/2. But, in such case, if the participant’s surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin, then the remaining interest will be distributed in accordance with paragraph (a)(ii) above (but not over the period in paragraph (a)(iii), even if longer), over such spouse’s designated beneficiary’s life expectancy, or in accordance with paragraph (ii) below if there is no such designated beneficiary. (ii) The remaining interest will be distributed by the end of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death. 4.

The Internal Revenue Service usually releases income tax forms for the current tax year between October and January, although changes to some forms can come even later. We last updated Federal Form 5305-SA from the Internal Revenue Service in February 2024.
Form 5305-SA is a Federal Individual Income Tax form. States often have dozens of even hundreds of various tax credits, which, unlike deductions, provide a dollar-for-dollar reduction of tax liability. Some common tax credits apply to many taxpayers, while others only apply to extremely specific situations. In most cases, you will have to provide evidence to show that you are eligible for the tax credit, and calculate the amount of the credit to which you are entitled.
About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
