You most likely will have to pay state taxes on your 401k withdrawal.  The basis of your 401k is your contributions that you have already paid tax on.  Because the contributions were all made by your employer, you would have no basis.     Pennsylvania does exempt retirement income if you have reached full retirement age, which in most cases is 59 1/2.  Because the 1099-R has Code 2, it appears to be an early distribution, which would be fully taxable.

Check your passkey setting under accounts.intuit.com.   Once you are logged in:   Go to Sign in & Security. Click on Passkeys.
