There is no early withdrawal penalty when a pension distribution is received due to the death of the participant.
The early withdrawal penalty is 10%.
20% is the amount of federal tax withheld in Box 2a.
Any early withdrawal penalty would be on Form 1040. Schedule 2, line 8, which will transfer to Form 1040 line 23.
