Accounts to use for Journal Entry of RMD

I am recording our RMD's for the year and I am making a deposit to bank and crediting our IRA account.  I'm thinking I also need to record as income and don't know what account to debit for that entry.

Accounts to use for Journal Entry of RMD

Required Minimum Distributions, or any distributions from an IRA, are generally not expenses to the business, nor are the employee-funded contributions to an IRA by employees or owners.

 

It it rather odd that you'd have a balance in an IRA account on your business' books at all, since you probably long ago sent the money to the IRA administrator.

 

In such a case, if the owner is pulling funds from the IRA and depositing them in the business bank account, the transaction would increase both cash and the owner's equity in the business.
