Retirement tax questions

No, there is no difference how distributions from your 403(b) are taxed when receiving in a lump sum, or over a 12 month period; however, if you spread it out it could span multiple tax years.  This could result in a lower tax rate in each year.   I recommend you consult with a financial advisor.
