If you are over 70 1/2 then you are required to take distributions from your traditional IRA. In 2009 the IRS waived this requirement due to the economic hardships that many are facing. If you have already taken your RMD and you didn't want to, you can roll it over to a new IRA account so that it doesn't face taxation.
"Individuals generally have until the later of Nov. 30, 2009, or 60 days after the date the distribution was received, to roll over the distribution. "
