Question: Maria, 70, has a RRIF with a balance of $300,000 on December 31, 2022. What was her minimum RRIF withdrawal for 2023, based on the prescribed minimum withdrawal factors from the Income Tax Act?

Answer options:

  • $10,200
  • $12,750 ✅ $13,636
  • $15,000

Correct answer: $13,636

Explanation: For age 70, the prescribed minimum withdrawal factor is 1/22, or approximately 4.545%. The minimum withdrawal is calculated as the RRIF balance at the end of the previous year ($300,000) multiplied by this factor. So, $300,000 * (1/22) = $13,636.36, which rounds to $13,636. This demonstrates the required distribution from a RRIF.
