You can have Vanguard compute RMD and set dates and amounts of withdrawals.
I have 100% of RMD cashed out in last week of December. This way my RMD money remains in IRA for the whole year almost. The money coming out goes to my bank account already linked. All this happens automatically. I do not have to fart around with Vanguard screens which change frequently.
