I didn’t take a required minimum distribution in 2020? Do I have to file anything for this?

Required minimum distributions were waived for 2020. Anyone who did not take a distribution is fine; no special filing is required.

Installment sale

A sale of property that allows for tax deferment if at least one payment is received after the end of the tax year in which the sale occurs. The installment method does not apply to year-end sales of publicly traded securities. Dealers may not use the installment method. Investors with very large installment balances could face a special tax.
