The taxes withheld from the cash out of your 401(K) will be reported on your Form 1099-R (not your W2).

Please follow these instructions to enter your Form 1099-R:

• Login to your TurboTax Account

• Click "Federal" from the left side of your screen
• Scroll down and click "Start or Edit/Add" next to "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)" 
• Answer "Yes" to the question "Did You Have Any of These Types of Income?"
• Click "I'll Type it Myself"
• Choose "Form 1099-R, Withdrawal of Money from 401(k) Retirement Plans, Pensions, IRAs, etc."
• Click "Continue"
• From here TurboTax will walk you through entering your Form 1099-R
