Don't be so sure that it will not happen. Key Members of the Senate Finance and Ways and Means Committees are in discussions to do it, with the backing of financial houses like Morgan Stanley and organizations like the AARP and inclination by Congress to also do it. The senior population is also a MAJOR voting block, particularly in states like Florida. It will not look at all politically savvy to stiff seniors by forcing them to withdraw an RMD amount for 2020 out of a disastrously depleted retirement caused by the virus and the lack of a real timely federal government response when other segments of the population are going to be helped by the next stimulus package. Stiffing the older generation will not be in the cards by Trump and his backers.
