Retirement tax questions
The 20% is probably just the withholding amount. The actual tax will be based on your total income.
You have taxes withheld like from you paycheck. You enter the whole gross amount (before taxes were withheld) with your other income to figure out the total tax (and it may put you into a higher tax bracket) and then the withholding is subtracted from the total tax to figure your refund or tax due. The Gross amount shows up on 1040 line 4a or 5a and the taxable amount on 4b/5b. The withholding will show up on 1040 line 25b.
