Do i pay additional taxes on a 401k withdrawal that i used to pay my house loan

[DoninGA · Accepted solution]

A withdrawal from a 401(k) account is a taxable event.  The taxable amount of the withdrawal is entered on your tax return as ordinary income and taxed at your current tax rate.  Paying a home mortgage is not an exception to the 10% early withdrawal penalty.  If you were under the age for the early withdrawal penalty exception then the penalty will be assessed on your Form 1040 Line 59 as a tax liability.  Any taxes withheld from the withdrawal will be entered on your tax return as a tax payment (just like from a W-2).
