Retirement tax questions

All the tax withheld from your distribution is entered in box 4 of your form 1099-R. There is no special box on form 1099-R for the 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you did not request an extra withholding from the plan administrator prior to the distribution, then the penalty is not withheld and you have to pay it at tax time.
