Retirement tax questions

Thank you so much for your efforts and assessment.  It is pretty much the same as what I gleaned from the research I have done on this.  I do appreciate you asking another MA Superuser to get another opinion on this as, being double-taxed on my hard earned money is something that I would really like to avoid if there is any possible way to do so.  I look forward to seeing what another Superuser thinks.  Thanks again.
