When tax was withheld from the distribution that was just an estimate---much like when your employer withholds tax from your paychecks and puts the amount on your W-2. When you prepare and file your tax return, you enter the amount of income and the amount of tax withheld, and the software reconciles whether you owe more or get a refund. You are not being taxed twice on the retirement distribution.
