If you take money out of your retirement account before you are 59 1/2 years old, you will pay an early withdrawal penalty of 10%, and ordinary income tax based on your tax bracket.   If you take the money out in 2023, then in January/early February you will receive a 1099R that you must enter on your tax return.    

 

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.

Yes you can file a tax return with just the 1099R.   You do not have to have a W-2 in order to file a tax return.  When the software asks if you have a W-2 to enter you say NO or just skip past that section and enter your 1099R.
