A. Unfortunately No. When you make a tax-deferred retirement contribution to a traditional 401(k) or a traditional IRA account, you have agreed that the government will collect tax sometime in the future.
RMD is the time when the government needs to collect income tax from you on all those tax-deferred contributions.
If you want to avoid RMD, you can pay tax upfront and save money in Roth IRA or Roth 401(k) accounts. For Roth 401(k) account, you need to do a tax-free rollover into a Roth IRA. No tax will be due at the time withdrawal from Roth IRA, and there is no RMD from Roth IRA too.
