Deductions & credits

It would appear that 20% was withheld. If an early withdrawal then 10% of that would pay the 10% penalty, leaving only 10% to pay the normal tax. If you are in the 26% tax bracket the  you should have had at least 36% withheld or about $6700.

 

The amount withheld is only an estimate of the tax (just like W-2 withholding).  The actual tax is determined by everything else on your tax return and your total taxable income.

 

All withholding form W-2's and 1099's are combined on line 17 on the 1040 form ans used to offset the total tax.  If too must was withheld, yiu get a refund, if not enough, you owe more.
