As I understand this chart, interest income from a regular (after tax) money market fund is counted as income as well as dividends realized from said account. This is money we saved after maxing out our 401ks and Roths. It’s enough to last us a few years. If we were to draw down that account for living expenses, only the interest gained in that year would be counted as income, correct? Say we took out 80K to live on for a given year, we would not be considered as having 80K worth of income, just the interest on the total account? Because given our balance, our interest earned on the account would not amount to much.
