Well, forget everything you know about MINIMUM REQUIRED DISTRIBUTIONS. The rules changed on Friday. The new Proposed Regs (available on http://www.irahelp.com and http://www.deathandtaxes.com) are VERY tax-payer friendly and MUCH simpler.

But all the books and software that address MRDs are obsolete.
