Retirement tax questions

@cnj083 

But then, if you are 65 next year, you might be eligible for the extra $6k income deduction for a single senior citizen.  (12k if married/MFJ and both are 65 or older & not allowed for MFS)

 

That might offset the 5k distribution when taken next year instead....IF you are eligible for it.

It phases out for MAGI starting/ending at:

Single:  $75k - to $175k

MFJ:     $150k - to -$250k
