Thank you. . .that brings me to another question, or two:

So, am I understanding correctly that the operative words there are “accrued” and “would be”……..

Does that then mean that the brokered CD’s interest is projected and taxable (or figured into next year’s RMD amount) though not paid out in the current tax year? (Kind of phantom-like?)

Actually, the CD I have is in an IRA. It will not reach its term until 2024 when it will pay the interest to me — no compounding along the way, I know. BUT……..

It sounds like “accrued” interest will apply inside an IRA, too; therefore, having an effect on next year’s RMD. Is that how it works?

If so, how is the accrued interest figured? Does an interest amount just show up on 12/31, even though it is not accessible to the CD holder yet?

I am brand new to brokered CDs. I obviously need a little fine-tuning on the subject.
