ESOP plan termination

My company had an ESOP but was purchased by another company. The ESOP was frozen, then terminated. When the plan was terminated, we were offered to roll it over or take a lump sum distribution minus 20%. What tax form will this be shown on and how much additional will I have to withhold?

You will receive a 1099-R.  If you did not roll it over into a qualified account, the total will be added to your income to determine how much tax you owe.
