Retirement tax questions

On your other new post you said it was $6,819 and you got 5,608.  So 1,211 was taken out for tax withholding.  Was that just federal or federal and state?  If you are under 59 1/2 the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty is on the full amount of 6,819 x .10 = $681.90.  

You didn’t actually pay the tax or the 10% penalty (you pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are under 59 ½). You had taxes withheld like from your paycheck. You still have to 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.
