Subpart A of part I of subchapter D of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following: Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, no applicable annual additions shall be made by, or on behalf of, an individual for the taxable year to any applicable retirement plan to the extent such applicable annual additions exceed the excess (if any) of— the applicable dollar amount for the taxable year, over the aggregate balances to the credit of the individual (whether as a participant, owner, or beneficiary) in all applicable retirement plans (determined as of the close of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the taxable year begins).
Except as provided in paragraph (2), applicable annual additions in excess of the limitation under subsection
(a)shall be treated for purposes of this title in the same manner as excess deferrals are treated under section 402(g). If, without regard to this paragraph, any portion of an applicable annual addition to which subparagraph
(A)applies with respect to an individual is not excludable from gross income of the individual (or no deduction is allowable to the individual with respect to such portion), such portion shall not be— includible in gross income by reason of the application of subparagraph (A), or taken into account in computing the investment in the contract for purposes of section 72. In the case of an applicable retirement plan which is an individual retirement plan (other than a simplified employee pension under section 408(k) or a simple retirement account under section 408(p)), any applicable annual addition to such plan in excess of the limitation under subsection
(a)shall be treated for purposes of sections 408 and 408A as a contribution for the taxable year in excess of the maximum amount allowable as a deduction under section 219 for the taxable year. In the case of applicable annual additions in excess of the limitation under subsection (a)— which are treated as designated nondeductible contributions under section 408(o), rules similar to the rules of paragraph (1)(B) shall apply, and to a Roth IRA, section 408A(d)(2)(C) shall apply to such additions and to any net income allocable to such additions. For purposes of clause (ii), distributions from a Roth IRA shall be treated as first made from amounts described in clause
(ii)and section 408A(d)(2)(C) shall be applied in the same manner as if there were a distribution of a contribution described in section 408(d)(4) (without regard to whether such distribution is timely made). If the applicable dollar amount for a taxable year exceeds the amount described in subsection (a)(2), the taxpayer may, in such form and manner as the Secretary may prescribe, allocate such excess to applicable annual additions to each applicable retirement plan in such manner as the taxpayer chooses. For purposes of this section— The term applicable annual addition means any of the following made to or on behalf of an individual: An annual addition (within the meaning of section 415(c)(2)). Any contribution to an individual retirement plan, including any employer or employee contribution to a simplified employee pension under section 408(k) or a simple retirement account under section 408(p). Any deferral under an eligible deferred compensation plan described in section 457(b) which is maintained by an eligible employer described in section 457(e)(1)(A). A rollover contribution under section 402(c), 403(b)(8), 408(d)(3)(A)(ii), or 457(e)(16) shall not be treated as an annual addition. The term applicable dollar amount means $5,000,000. In the case of any taxable year beginning after 2017, the $5,000,000 amount under subparagraph
(A)shall be increased by an amount equal to the product of— such amount, and the cost-of-living adjustment under section 1(f)(3) for the calendar year in which such taxable year begins, determined by substituting calendar year 2016 for calendar year 1992 in subparagraph
(B)thereof. If any amount as adjusted under subparagraph
(B)is not a multiple of $1,000, such amount shall be rounded to the next lowest multiple of $1,000. The term applicable retirement plan means— a defined contribution plan to which section 401(a) or 403(a) applies, an annuity contract under section 403(b), an eligible deferred compensation plan described in section 457(b) which is maintained by an eligible employer described in section 457(e)(1)(A), or an individual retirement plan. The Secretary shall prescribe such regulations and guidance as are necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of this section, including regulations or guidance that provide for the application of this section and section 4974(e) in the case of plans with a valuation date other than the last day of a calendar year. .

Section 4974 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following: If this subsection applies to a payee for any taxable year— all qualified retirement plans and eligible deferred compensation plans of the payee which are applicable retirement plans taken into account in computing the excess described in paragraph (2)(A) shall be treated as 1 plan solely for purposes of applying this section to the increase in minimum required distributions for the taxable year described in subparagraph (B), and the minimum required distributions under this section for all plans treated as 1 plan under subparagraph
(A)with respect to such payee for the taxable year shall be increased by the excess (if any) of— the excess described in paragraph (2)(A), over the sum of the minimum required distributions (determined without regard to this subsection) for all such plans. This subsection shall apply to a payee for a taxable year— if the aggregate balances to the credit of the payee (whether as a participant, owner, or beneficiary) in all applicable retirement plans (determined as of the close of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the taxable year begins) exceed the applicable dollar amount for the calendar year in which the taxable year begins, and without regard to whether amounts with respect to the payee are otherwise required to be distributed under section 401(a)(9), 403(b)(10), 408(a)(6), 408(b)(3), or 457(d)(2). If this subsection applies to a payee for any taxable year— this section shall apply first to minimum required distributions determined without regard to this subsection and then to any increase in minimum required distributions by reason of this subsection, and nothing in this subsection shall be construed to affect the amount of any minimum required distribution determined without regard to this subsection or the plan or plans from which it is required to be distributed from. The taxpayer may, in such form and manner as the Secretary may prescribe, allocate any increase in minimum required distributions by reason of this subsection to applicable retirement plans treated as 1 plan under subparagraph
(A)in such manner as the taxpayer chooses. Notwithstanding section 408A(c)(5)— the aggregate balance to the credit of a payee of any Roth IRA shall be taken into account for purposes of this subsection, and distributions from a Roth IRA may be taken into account in determining whether the required increase in minimum required distributions by reason of this subsection has been satisfied. If any distribution from a Roth IRA is taken into account under subparagraph (A)(ii), then, notwithstanding section 408A(d)(5), the portion of such distribution which is properly allocable to net income on contributions to the Roth IRA shall not be treated as a qualified distribution and shall be included in gross income of the payee. If the first taxable year of a taxpayer for which there is a required increase in minimum required distributions by reason of this subsection begins before January 1, 2019, any amount required to be included in gross income by reason of such increase shall be included in income ratably over the 6-taxable-year period (or such shorter period as the taxpayer may elect) beginning with such first taxable year. For purposes of this subsection, any term used in this subsection which is also used in section 409B shall have the same meaning as when such term is used in such section. . Section 72(t)(2) of such Code is amended by adding at the end the following new subparagraph: Distributions from applicable retirement plans (within the meaning of section 409B) to the extent such distributions during the taxable year do not exceed the amount (if any) by which— the amount determined under section 409B(a)(2) for the taxable year, exceeds the applicable dollar amount under section 409B(c)(2) for the preceding taxable year. .

If the account balance of a plan as of the close of a calendar year is not otherwise required under this title to be reported to a participant, a beneficiary, or the Secretary, such requirements shall include a requirement that the plan administrator or trustee shall notify the participant, the beneficiary, or the Secretary of such account balance at such time and in such manner as the Secretary may prescribe. .
