Didn't you just ask all this?

No.

Moot point since answer to (1) is no.

I'm not familiar with GA specifically, but if it's like
other states with an income tax, yes.

Normal income (but see (3)).

Yes.

Take the distribution into account.

Default Early Distribution from 401K(cashout) & SS/MED , State Taxes

I left my job in 2004 and have been self-employed ever
since. I received full early distribution from my 401K Jan
2005.

Things I know:
10% penalty from total amount
20% already withheld strictly for Federal income taxes

Things I don't know:

1) Since I'm self-employed when I received the distribution,
will I have to pay full self-employment tax (6.2% + 6.2% +
1.45% + 1.45% - 15.3%)?

2) If so, can I deduct 1/2 of that amount that an employer
would normally contribute?

3) Will I have to pay Georgia State income taxes on the
distribution?

4) If so, is it taxed as normal income or handle
differently?

5) Is the taxable amount taxed all the same, or are my
contributions vs employers contributions vs capital gains
all taxed separately and differently with respects to
self-employment tax and state tax?

6) Lastly, should I be withholding from my self-employment
income according to tax bracket after distribution, before
distribution, or do not take in consideration the
distribution at all?

Thanks,
Rey
