In 2024 the standard deduction will be $14,600 for single filers, I will be 62 this year. If I withdrawal $14,600 from my 401k, will the distribution be offset by the standard deduction making my AGI $0?

    Yes, if you have no other income in 2024, the standard deduction will reduce your taxable income to 0.

     

    Your AGI will be $14,600, but your taxable income will be 0.

    The only other income I will have would be social security. I will not be receiving my first payment until April, so I don't know what the total amount for the year will be at this point.

    If you will also have social security, then you would end up having taxable income.  At minimum half of your social security will be taxable since you would have other taxable income. Depending on your situation, up to 85% of it is taxed.  

     

    For instance, if you are single and if your withdrawal is $14,600 and you receive $15,000 in social security for the year, then you would have combined income of $22,100. Which would leave you with taxable income of $7,500.

     

    If you fall into the following, 85% of your social security is taxable income

    • Single with income above $34,000
    • Married Filing Jointly with income above $44,000
    • Married Filing Separate regardless of income

    If you fall into the following, 50% of your social security is taxable income

    • Single with combined income between $25,000-$34,000
    • Married Filing Jointly with combined income between $32,000 and $44,000

    Your combined income is calculated by adding your

    • AGI plus
    • Nontaxable Interest plus
    • 1/2 of your social security Benefits

    Social Security Benefits Taxes

     

    So, with SS and that withdraw, your AGI will not be $0.
