You can
withdraw some of your IRA and not be taxed. How much can you withdraw? It’s
complicated. Assuming you’re single and have no dependents, you get a $11,950
deduction before tax is even calculated. Assuming you have no other income,
other than social security (SS) and your IRA withdrawal; you may withdraw up to
$11,950 from your IRA without tax.
But, as others have pointed out, you are REQUIRED to do minimum withdrawals starting at age 70-12.
Since
$11,950 + 11,000 (half your SS) = less than $25,000; none of your SS will become
taxable.
