Jordan will report what amount as taxable income on her tax return

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,000

Explanation:

Based on the information given we were told that she received the amount of $10,000 from her retirement plan in which her employer withheld the amount of $2,000 from her distribution which means that if Jordan decides to roll over the amount of $8,000($10,000-$2,000) in which she does not contribute the amount of $2,000 that was been withheld by her employer to the new plan the amount she will have to report as taxable income on her tax return will be the amount of $2,000 ($10,000-$8,000) that was withheld by her employer reason been that Jordan only roll over the amount of $8,000 ($10,000-$2,000) without the amount of $2,000 withheld.

Therefore Jordan will report the amount of $2,000 as taxable income on her tax return
