Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I took an early withdrawal from a standard 401k at $15,000 and it's supposed to be a 10% tax but on the final review it's saying I owe $15,071. Is this an error?

Please be aware, the 10% is only the early withdrawal penalty. The distribution is also included in your taxable income and taxed at your tax rate. The tax due is the amount calculated on your total taxable income.

 

Please double check your entries.
