73 min dist distribution requirements

By Terry Savage on September 13, 2026 | Investments

Hello Terry thank you for your wonderful columns answers and expertise anyway I just turned 70 and I guess what 73 there’s a distribution requirement I don’t have much I have about 60,000 in a 457 plan is that part of this requirement drawdown and would you advise me moving that money somewhere else until I heard a Roth IRA or something like that thank you so much

It’s probably time to do a direct rollover to a traditional IRA (no taxes involved) because you will have a wider choice of more conservative investments.

Then in three years it will be time to start taking small required distributions. Your new custodian at Fidelity or Vanguard will calculate those amounts for you.
