I am a US citizen, and my question remains the same. I would like to know what percentage of taxes do I have to pay when using my 401K distribution?

The amount of tax you have to pay depends on your overall tax situation---the amount of income you received and how much tax was withheld. If you had tax withheld from the retirement account distribution, the software will reconcile how much you had withheld with how much you owe. You might get a refund or you might owe more, just like when you have tax withheld from your paychecks by an employer.
