Both taxpayer(H) & spouse(W) are well over 70.5 and have IRA's in their own names. In 2008, apparently on the advice of their son, who is also their investment advisor, only H took distributions, which in total were more than the RMD for both H & W. However, Publication 590 states that the owner of a traditional IRA must receive at least a minimum amount. Does W need to file Form 5329 to report the underpayment? (If yes, she will request a waiver of the 50% penalty.)

Yes, if you note, the 5329 is filed in the individual name.

they should already know that their son is ignorant - at least about tax laws, that's why they're coming to you.
