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 $310,000 (before reducing it for withdrawals/distributions described below). Over the years, Rashaun has contributed $85,790 to the IRA. Of his $85,790 contributions, $64,790 was nondeductible and $21,000 was deductible. Assume Rashaun did not make any contributions to the account during 2018.

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?
