I changed jobs this year and withdrew my 401K. Does this get added to your annual income? I ask because my EIT went down a great deal.

Yes, the retirement income is added to your AGI, and certainly would affect the earned income credit you could receive.

Yes. This is reportable income and could move you to a different tax bracket depending on the amount. You pay tax and if you are under 59 1/2, you will pay a 10% penalty on an early withdrawal.
