I have an $13,000 IRA CD that is maturing in a few days. I'd like to take out $5000 for 2008 and $5000 for 2009, leaving $3000 as an IRA. What would be the best way to document this for the IRS. My taxable income for 2008 is almost nothing and should be the same for 2009. I'm way past 59 1/2 years old so I don't have any early withdrawal penalty to deal with.
