I have to take an RMD this year. Can I have stock transferred directly from my retirement account to my taxable account to satisfy my RMD?
You may take an in-kind required minimum distribution (RMD) by having the IRA distribute stock to your taxable (non-IRA) account. The value of the stock on the date of the distribution determines the amount distributed to you for RMD purposes. Because of this, the basis in this stock in your taxable account becomes the amount reported for RMD purposes.

Withholding
An amount taken from income as a prepayment of an individual’s tax liability for the year. In the case of wages, the employer withholds part of every wage payment. Backup withholding from dividend or interest income is required if you do not provide the payer with a correct taxpayer identification number. Withholding on pensions and IRAs is automatic unless you elect to waive withholding.
