    1. Assuming you are Single.

    2.  $24,000 is SS

    3)  $63,500 is pensions/IRA/401k  distributions (none are ROTH distributions nor have any after-tax contributions)

    4) Std Deduction of $14,050   (will be slightly higher for 2021)

    5) The extra cash charity income deduction of $300

    6) Zero other income...meaning no Cap Gains and no interest or dividends of any kind.

     

    Fed taxes would total right at ~$11,100

    Do a trial 2021 tax return using TurboTax 2020 Deluxe CD/Download program.

    It will be close enough.

     

    If you are an Online user, you need to set up a second throwaway account.

    There is no charge since you won't be submitting it.

    Or have you tried using TurboTax's Tax caster tool:
