What is the name of your state? New York
Background: I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I qualified for the “Retirement Savers Contributions Credit” in 2023 (RSCC). I also have a small amount of long term Capital loss (less than $3000) in 2023. I am subject to RMD in 2024.
Question 1: Using the tax software I find that if I take the 2024 RMD “before” April 15, 2024, it wipes out the 2023 RSCC for 2023. The government requires the 2024 RMD but then penalizes someone for taking it? Am I missing something important here?
Question 2: The tax software will not let me carryover the Capital loss into the future. Does the Capital loss need to be more than 3k to do this?
As always, thank you in advance for any input.
