Is this just federal? What is state?20% is withheld and 10% is assessed at the time the return is filed.
Excellent advice, unless you have a way to get a return greater than the 30+% loss.Imo, you should never withdraw retirement funds unless you have no other option. Sometime you can take out a loan against your funds under certain limited circumstances.
OK Guys. Getting or giving tax advice online is kinda' like reloading info. Use at your own risk. The answers given above are correct, including the possibility of exclusion from the general rules. One thing I would like to stress is that the amount withheld from your retirement plan withdrawals is not the amount of tax you owe on the withdrawal. It is just a deposit, like the withholding on your paycheck. Your actual tax is calculated when you complete your return for the year. Depending on your total income from all sources, you may be due a refund or you may owe additional tax. Since you are adding the amount withdrawn on top of your regular income, it will be taxed at your highest tax rate.

Dub chops
Would you pull the 401k again, knowing it would be taxed/penalized nearly 35%?
I had one like that. We rolled it into an IRA with a 30 year average of 12%. It did 34% the first year (last year) so we were stoked but also realize that's just 1 year. Anyway no taxes(yet) or penalty to roll it.Yes,
It was not growing
