I cashed out a 401k worth about $40 k. $7500 was withheld in tax. Will I owe any more on it?

Update:

I filed married jointly with a total household income of $65,000.

    Depends on your overall income and tax situation, but most likely yes.

    Maybe. It depends on what the rest of your taxable income is.

    Most likely yes.

    The $7500 is only an estimate and it normally falls short.

    The normal withholding is 20%, so my guess is that you cashed out about $37,500

    Federal:

    22%  -  Typical tax bracket

    10%  -  Penalty if you are not 59.5 years old

    32%  -  Estimated Total Tax Rate

    $37,500 x 32% = $12,000

    $12,000 less $7,500 = $4500 additional owed.

    State:No state taxes were withheld.  If you live in a state with an income tax, you estimate owing about $2000

    $4500 + $2000 = Owing an additional $6500

    Depends on your tax return, your filing status and your marginal income.  Assuming you file as a single person, you would pay 12% on every additional dollar up to about $40,000 taxable income (which is likely about $52,000 gross income given a standard deduction).  Over that, you would pay 22% on every additional dollar up to $84,000.

     

    That is only Federal tax, you could have state tax on top of it.  You simply haven't provided the needed information to make even an educated guess.
