I was at a job for short time & chose to receive early distribution for full amt of 401k, is my "basis" the full amount of distribution? Fed & State taxes were taken out.

Your basis is any after-tax dollars that you contributed to the plan.
Most people don't contribute after-tax dollars to retirement plans (although they could), so your basis is probably zero or none.
