Retirement tax questions

The taxable amount does not depend in any way on which traditional IRA the distribution came from.  All of your traditional IRA accounts are considered together to be a single IRA with the taxable amount being calculated using the sum of the year end values in all of your traditional IRAs.  There is no such thing as a "deductible IRA," only nondeductible contributions made to your traditional IRAs in aggregate.

 

The calculation is done separately for your distributions and your spouse's distributions.
