2021 Tax Return Preparation Checklist
Whether you do your tax returns yourself or hire a paid preparer to do them for you, this checklist will help you gather and organize all of the relevant materials needed for your 2021 returns
Uniform Lifetime Table
The “Uniform Lifetime” table contains the factors needed to calculate Required Minimum Distributions (“RMDs”) from your own retirement accounts (not accounts you inherited; see the “Single Life Expectancy” table below for those factors)
Single Life Expectancy Table
The “Single Life Expectancy” table contains the factors needed to calculate Required Minimum Distributions (“RMDs”) from certain inherited retirement accounts. This table mainly applies to non-spouse beneficiaries who inherited accounts from original owners who died prior to 2020. However, it also applies to “Eligible Designated Beneficiaries” (as defined in the SECURE Act of 2019) who inherited accounts from original owners who died after 2019
