SECTION 5: About income tax withholding
Under current federal income tax law, we are required to withhold 10% of the taxable portion of the cash
withdrawal value and pay it to the IRS unless you tell us in writing not to withhold tax. Some states also require
us to withhold state income tax if we withhold federal tax.
You are responsible for paying income tax on the taxable portion of the payment, even if we do not withhold
taxes. In making your decision about withholding taxes, you should consider that penalties under the estimated
income tax rules may apply if your withholding and estimated income tax payments are not sufficient.
Check here if you do not want us to withhold federal and state income tax
(This choice is void if we do not have your social security or Tax ID number or if you reside outside of the U.S.)
