Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The 401K distribution is not on the W2. Only contributions. You need the 1099R.
AND You didn't actually pay the tax or 10% penalty (you pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are under 59 ½). You had taxes withheld like from your paycheck. You still have to enter the whole amount (before taxes were withheld) with your other income to figure out the total tax (and it may put you into a higher tax bracket) and then the withholding is subtracted from the total tax to figure your refund or tax due. The withholding will show up on 1040 line 64 (1040A line 40). The 10% penalty is on 1040 line 59.
