Based on the information given, the amount that will be tax-free from the ESA distribution will be $39000.

From the information given, the eligible education expenses will be:

= $34000 - $4000

= $30000

The tax free portion will be:

= (4000 × 30000) / 40000

= $3000

The total tax-free distribution will be:

= Contributions + Earnings

= $36000 + $3000

= $39000
