    You can ask the distributing financial institution to withhold any amount of tax you want, which will depend on your other tax factors and withholdings. {I suggest you say 20% ... or 15% if your total line 7 will be low.}

    Pre - 59 1/2 they withhold 10% for tax and 10% for penalty.

    Your tax rate is based on TOTAL income, among other factors.

    if that is the only "income", then the tax rate is 0%
