How do we pay state income tax on a large 401k withdrawal so that we do not incur a penalty next year?

We took a very large sum out of a retirement account.  They withheld 20% for federal income taxes.  How do we pay state income tax so there will not be a penalty for a large amount due on 4-15-20?  And how do we know the amount?

You just need to make an estimated tax payment to Indiana. It's basically the amount of the distribution multiplied by 3.23% (Indiana tax rate).

Here's the link to the estimated tax form.

Is there a penalty for underpayment on federal taxes as well?  Is there a form I can use?
