Today I closed out my SEP IRA with Merill Lynch and did not have them take out any tax. So what about the RMD rule for 2019? Does this have any place in this account now that I closed it out?
 

I think it (the cash) is considered ordinary income which is taxed. May not be much depending upon your AGI.
 
...and: Your age?

You can take distributions from your IRA (including your SEP-IRA or SIMPLE-IRA) at any time. There is no need to show a hardship to take a distribution. However, your distribution will be includible in your taxable income and it may be subject to a 10% additional tax if you're under age 59 1/2

N.B. - I didn't think that "includible" was a real word...<g>... My guess would have been that it was a type of the octopus species.
 
Went on irs.gov and I'm in the clear so I an have 60 days to roll it over in to another ira acct. but I do't think I will. I'll pay the tax and move on.
