Yes it is possible that you could be unemployed and still be required to file a 1040 federal income tax return and pay some income taxes.

If you are receiving unemployment compensation and have any other sources of worldwide gross income that you would have to report on your correctly filed federal 1040 income tax return.

What percentage will I be penalized if I choose to cash out my 401k early?

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.
