What can you do to lower tax when you received severance pay and a retention bonus in one year that pushed you into a much higher tax bracket than normal?
As it has already been done, very little. It is earnings in that year.
It is unlikely it would push you to a much "higher tax bracket", as there really are only a few brackets! (And the low one drops off at about 18K). So, while you may be paying more cash this year, your probably paying a similar percent. (Bracket rates apply only to the amounts above the lower bracket, so when reaching a 25% bracket your first 18K or so is still taxed at the low rate).
Also, if it pushes you above the FICA income ceiling (or other State payment ceilings), you actually benefit by those items dropping off.

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.

What steps are taken by an insurance company to set up its retention limit?
A retention limit is the same as a deductible. Deductibles or retention limits are part of the policy. Insurance companies don't just make up deductibles. Usually clients choose higher deductibles in exchange for lower premiums. The same goes for retention limits, in that the higher retention limit a client is willing to accept on their own the lower the premium charged to that client by the insurance company.

Does severance pay keep you from collecting unemployment in Minnesota?
In my case, I was allowed 6 months of pay. Then Minnesota is going to take 50% of that pay for state taxes. The rate is higher because its a severance that is paid in one lump sum. When you accept severance pay, you have to wait until the pay has run out (6 months in my case), before you can apply for unemployment insurance. -Minnesota
