When you withdraw funds from your 401K, the Federal Tax they took was the 10% or 20% that is required to be withheld on any 401K withdrawal by your employer.

The additional tax you owe is a Penalty for Early Withdrawal.

Be sure to check to see if you qualify for an Exception to Early Withdrawal Penalty.

Or..it is also possible the amount they withheld wasn't enough to cover all the taxes you owed for it...based on your marginal tax rate for ALL your yearly income.
