1 You must report the amount you withdrew from your retirement plan to the IRS. 2  You may have to pay an additional 10 percent tax on your withdrawal. 3  The additional 10 percent tax normally does not apply to nontaxable withdrawals. 4  Nontaxable withdrawals include withdrawals of your cost in participating in the plan.

Pennsylvania doesn't tax any retirement income, including Social Security and pensions, although it limits the exemption to taxpayers older than 59Â½.
