Review the following scenario. Use the information provided to answer questions about the taxpayer’s 2020 return. Evonne Williams (32) is filing as a single taxpayer. Evonne was the beneficiary of one of her great-grandmother’s traditional IRAs. She passed away during the year, and Evonne took a $2,000 total distribution from the IRA. She then used the money to pay down her credit card debt. Evonne did not qualify for any COVID-19 related exceptions for IRA distributions. As far as she knows, all of her great-grandmother’s contributions to the account were deductible. Evonne’s only other income during the year was $44,000 in wages. She will claim the standard deduction.
