If you are diagnosed with hypersomnia, your doctor can prescribe various drugs to treat it, including stimulants, antidepressants, as well as several newer medications (for example, Provigil and Xyrem).
You may have your 2015 RMD made payable directly to the charity (provided it meets the IRS definition of a qualified charity), and then designate it as a qualified charitable distribution on your tax return. You'll have satisfied your distribution requirement, and you won't have to pay income taxes on that money.
If you fail to take your annual RMD or take out less than what is required, the IRS will notice. You will not only owe income taxes on the amount not withdrawn, you will owe 50% more. (The 50% penalty can be waived if you can show the IRS that the shortfall resulted from a âreasonable errorâ instead of negligence.)1.
