Q&A: "I am 65 and Want to Tap my IRA and Other Annuities to Help Pay for my Daughter's College Education...Will I Need to Pay Taxes on the Money Applied for Tuition and Housing?"

I am 65 and want to tap my IRA and other annuities to help pay for my daughter's college education. I know there isn't a penalty for withdrawal, but will I need to pay taxes on the money applied for tuition and housing? Is there a limit on the amount that can be used each year without tax liability? I was planning on withdrawing $8,000 - $10,000 per year.
