I am pulling out my teachers retirement early from texas it is about 8900. how much I will be taxed? Also can it wait before being taxed the 20% federal withholding?

I am not planning on rolling it over. I would like to know if I can request that they not take the 20% out and I will have the taxes taken out of my tax refund.

According to a TRS publication, the 20% is mandatory :

"Refunded amounts that represent tax-sheltered contributions are subject to a mandatory 20 percent federal income tax withholding unless you elect to roll over all eligible amounts to another qualied plan or to a traditional Individual Retirement Account (IRA). A 10 percent early withdrawal penalty assessed by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may also be applicable. "
