Can I test next years taxes on the TurboTax site like with efile.com?

It is too late now to use online TurboTax to start a new return--even for 2024 as a "dummy" return. The 2025 software will be out in late November/early December.

How does one create estimates of what they need to distribute from IRA accounts for the next year?

It sounds like you may be asking about Required Minimum Distributions. By law, your IRA administrator (brokerage, bank, etc.) is generally required to calculate the RMD for the next year based on your December 31st account balance and inform you of the amount by January 31st. This document should be either mailed to you or electronically delivered, if that's the choice you made to receive communications from them.

Hope this helps!
