Once you determine a separate required minimum distribution from each of your traditional
IRAs, you can total these minimum amounts and take them from any one or more of your
traditional IRAs.

Generally, your marital status is determined as of January 1
of each year. If your spouse is the
beneficiary of your IRA on January 1, he or she remains a beneficiary only for purposes of calculating the
required minimum distribution for that IRA even if you get divorced or your spouse dies during the year.

You must increase your IRA balance by any outstanding rollover and recharacterized Roth IRA
conversions that were not in any traditional IRA on December 31
of the previous year.
