State & Federal income taxes on $11,000 in the year the distribution was taken.
You are eligible to take a 401k distribution without penalty starting at age 59 and a half.
Withdrawals from 401k accounts are added to your general income for that tax year.
No, 401k loans do not count as income because they are considered loans that need to be repaid rather than income that is earned.
By withholding I will guess that you mean the amounts that you are contributing to your 401K BEFORE income taxes (deferred compensation amount) that will not be subject to the income taxes during the year and will reduce the amount of your taxable gross wage amount that is reported in box 1 of your W-2 form at the end of the tax year. The deferred contribution amounts will be subject to income tax in future years when you retire and start receiving distribution the taxable distribution amounts from your 401K plan and at that time the taxable amounts will added to all of your other gross worldwide income on your 1040 income tax return and subject to the federal income tax at your marginal tax rate.
I believe new bankruptcy law exempts all retirement from being touch during bankruptcy so it should be safe
The 401k match is typically based on your gross income, which is your income before taxes and other deductions are taken out.
