Retirement tax questions

In the most simple terms ... the withholding on the distribution may or may not be enough to cover the federal taxes owed when added to your other income  + the 10% penalty.

 

So at your income level you are in the 22% tax bracket + the 10% penalty means you will owe 33%  so you are 12% short in the withholding that needs to be made up somewhere else (like from a paycheck) or you will pay on your tax return and if you owe more than $1000 then the IRS will also add an underpayment penalty + interest.
