Retirement tax questions

Hi there again VolvoGirl,

 

Thanks again for your replay..appreciate your efforts just before X-mas!  I did have to use my 403B last year but unfortunately have been using AARP to do my returns and didn't learn anything until now.   So I will enter the values that I can see from my statements to arrive at the gross distribution on line 1 and the Federal income tax on box 4.  I now see the "!  FORM 1099-R (with Company Name)" on the left pane.  Glad to have you help me enter the values so I can get a better handle on how much emergency funds I can take out this year.  I didn't know I can do that.  I am assuming if my estimate are close, I should be able to take out enough to cover this coming year's added expense so this really helps!  I didn't know the difference between the desktop, online, app products.    Was challenging since I did't know I can look "under the hood" to get to a form.  Assuming I understand everything to date, I should be able to make estimates to figure out withdrawls to keep me in the 10-12% tax brackets?  And finally, Should I assume NEXT year's 2025 Standard Deduction rules will be similar or are there expiring tax laws in the following years?    Enjoy the holiday with Family and Friends!
