Delay of Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) until February 1, 2013
Due to Hurricane Sandy, participants of the New York City Deferred Compensation Plan and the NYCE IRA are eligible for disaster relief under IRS guidance. As such, participants may delay taking RMDs until February 1, 2013, without triggering the 50% excise tax under Code section 4974. These delayed RMD payments will be reported as taxable income to participants and beneficiaries in the year in which the RMDs are actually paid.
