Retirement tax questions

Yes, it means that some Federal and state taxes have been taken out of the amount you received. 

Just like an employer would withhold taxes from your wages, you can have taxes withheld from payments reported on a 1099.  When you enter the information from the 1099 into your tax return, be sure to include the withholding amounts on the 1099 input screen so that you will get credit for those amounts when your taxes are calculated.
