Using 401k funds to pay down debt, tax bracket concerns. R A. Miller

We want to use 401k funds to draw down a home equity line of credit balance. We're concerned that in doing so we will place ourselves in a higher tax bracket. Won't those 401k funds we withdraw to pay debts be counted as income, thus placing us in a higher tax bracket? Our current tax rate is 5.75 percent. Appreciate any advice you can offer.

Thanks,
