When claiming a withdrawl from your 401k what is the percent of income tax you have to pay?
If you withdraw money from your 401k plan, it will be taxed just like any other income. So, the amount that you will pay will depend on what tax bracket the withdrawal pushes you into. If you do not meet one of the exceptions, you will also be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. This penalty is charged by the IRS and it is reported on your tax return for the year of the withdrawal. So, if you are in a 25% tax bracket and you are subject to the early withdrawal penalty, you are going to pay a total of 35% of the withdrawal in Federal income tax. If you live in a State that has state income tax, remember that you will need to pay that too.

If IRS charged me for early withdrawal of my 401K will I be taxed again when I file my federal income tax?
Yes. That was the penalty for early withdrawal. What you received is then taxed as income received (which it would be whenever you received it). You did not pay tax on it when you put it in the account. Now more than likely, you actually only had something withheld on withdrawal, like withholding on pay. The penalty and tax on income will be calculated with your return, where you'll then take a credit for the amount withheld and true up to what the total actual tax and penalty is. I would point out that in all distributions of this type it was explained to you several times and you likely signed several documents explaining what would happen and you understood it. The Co paying it out was required to withhold I believe at 20%, the penalty is not that much, but the income tax, especially if it a substantial withdrawal putting you in a higher than normal tax bracket that year, will frequently be higher than the 10% left.
How much penalty will I owe at tax for cashing out your 401k?
The early withdrawal penalty amount is 10 % of the taxable amount if you are under the age of 59 1/2 and still employed by the employer that has the 401K plan. The below information is one of the exclusion from the 10% early withdrawal penalty. If you are no longer employed (terminated left the company) by the employer that has the plan in or after the year that you turn age 55 the 10 % early withdrawal penalty would NOT apply to the taxable distribution amount. The taxable amount of the distribution will be added to all of your other gross worldwide income on your 1040 income tax return and taxed at your marginal tax rate.

You will need to pay all income tax for the income deposited in the account (as if you earned it the moment you withdraw it) plus a 10% early withdrawal fee if you are under 55. If you have had no income for this tax year (say you are unemployed), then the tax burden may be low. However, if you are withdrawing in a year when you have had salary, the additional disbursement can push you into a new tax bracket-- raising the tax you pay on ALL income for this year. With this added tax burden and the 10% penalty, it is possible to wipe out all benefit from a withdrawal.
