You either file as Married Filing Jointly (MFJ) or as Married Filing Separately (MFS). In either case the amount of 401K withdrawal is taxable income; and is also subject to a 10% penalty if your wife's age is less than 59 1/2.

Any amount withheld offsets the tax.

Note, that niether of you can claim the other as a dependent.
