    When you write the letter, mention that the RMD for 2015 has been taken out. The IRS is looking for future compliance.

    There is no need to take out two RMDs in 2015, just be sure that the total is more than the % of the 12/31/2014 balance required.

    It depends. IRS is often quite reasonable, if it is a first time event.
