I know that federal taxes will be withheld when a 401K distribution is made. Although TN doesn't have an earned income tax, will there be a state income tax due on these distributions? On pension income?

As you know the State of Tennessee does not have an income tax. Income from a 401k or any other retirement plan is taxed on the Federal level as income earned in the year of distribution. Tennessee does not tax this income. So you will only pay Federal Income Tax on you 401k distribution.
