No, because a >5% owner of the business cannot delay RMDs beyond their normal RBD. The determination of ownership % is made one time, in the first RMD year.What if you are a self-employed professional (with on office) and are continuing to practice past your 73rd birthday? Is the RMD delayed? If so, until when?
If the taxpayer is not a >5% owner in that particular year, RMDs are not required under the still working exception, and continue not to be required even if the ownership is increased above 5% in some later year.
On the other hand, if the ownership is >5% in the first RMD year, RMDs must begin and continue regardless of the owner divesting in a later year.
Further, if the participant is not a >5% owner, but a close family member also owns an interest, those interests are added together and if they exceed 5% in the first RMD year, then RMDs must begin. (Family attribution rules).
