Generally, the withholding depends on what you tell the holder to withhold. But you're the one responsible for paying the taxes - if enough isn't withheld, you'd need to file quarterly, or pay it with your return and risk paying interest and penalties.

Assuming a traditional IRA, taxes would be at your normal rate, plus a 10% penalty if it was withdrawn before you're 59-1/2 unless you meet an exception allowing you to withdraw it early

There is no withholding requirement for an early withdrawal from an IRA. They withholding is voluntary by you.
The 20% withholding only applies to a distribution by a trustee from a plan such as a 401K plan.

Generally, trustees withhold 20% from any premature withdrawl. This still leaves people short when they do their return plus, usually, there is no withholding for state taxes.
