Retirement tax questions
Yes, the early withdrawal penalty of 10% would be waived under the CARES Act for 2020 for withdrawals of $100,000 or less.
That does not reduce or take away any income tax liability due to your withdrawal, only the early distribution penalty is waived.
Thank you @dmertz for adding the distinction that the distribution must be a qualified Corona-virus related distribution. Exactly what that means has not yet been defined by the IRS to my knowledge.
