I withdrew a large amount from my 401K plan to pay back federal taxes. How do I apply this to my 1040 to avoid added income taxation?

Unfortunately, this is taxable income and if under age 59 1/2 subject to a penalty. Paying income tax is not an exception to the penalty. You may qualify for another type. See possibilities in the link below.
