You did not answer whether that money was pre-tax or not. Most likely, it was money that was not taxed. So it seems you took an early distribution of a retirement account. Yes, that can be taxable. Again, in January you will get a 1099R which will show how much tax was withheld and the codes in the boxes on that 1099R will determine how much, if any, of the tax withheld will be refunded to you. If you need help with entering the 1099R post back for help later in the tax season. 1099R's are not issued until late January/early February.
