In 2018, Rashaun (62 years old) retired and planned on immediately receiving distributions (making withdrawals) from his traditional IRA account. The balance of his IRA account is $210,000 (before reducing it for withdrawals/distributions described below). Over the years, Rashaun has contributed $57,790 to the IRA. Of his $57,790 contributions, $41,790 was nondeductible and $16,000 was deductible. Assume Rashaun did not make any contributions to the account during 2018. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)
a. If Rashaun currently withdraws $20,000 from the IRA, how much tax will he be required to pay on the withdrawal if his marginal tax rate is 24 percent?
b. If Rashaun currently withdraws $70,000 from the IRA, how much tax will he be required to pay on the withdrawal if his marginal tax rate is 28 percent?
