Retirement tax questions

You know, You didn't actually pay the tax or 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 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 withholding will show up on 1040 line 17. The 10% penalty is on 1040 Schedule 2 line 6 which goes to 1040 line 15.
