Question

On my 1099-R Box 1 shows $38,000. Box 2- $38,000. Box 4- $7,600. Did I pay all the penalties already?

The 10% early withdrawal penalty is not assessed when you withdraw funds from a tax deferred retirement account.  The penalty is assessed on your tax return Form 1040 Line 59 as a tax liability.  The taxes withheld from the withdrawal are entered on the tax return as a tax payment (just like from a W-2).  If your total tax payments are greater than your total tax liabilities then you will receive a tax refund for the overpayment.  If your total tax payments are less than your total tax liabilities you will have taxes owed.
