Your monthly retirement benefit is subject to federal taxes. You may choose your federal tax withholding preference
by completing Section G of your Form 6000, Notification of Retirement. If you do not complete Section G, KRS
will automatically withhold federal income tax based on married status with 3 exemptions. You may find the
worksheets below helpful when completing Section G.
Additional information is available on the Internal Revenue Service website at www.irs.gov.
Purpose. Form W4-P is for U.S. citizens, resident aliens, or their estates who are recipients of pensions, annuities
(including commercial annuities), and certain other deferred compensation. Use Form W4-P to tell payers the correct
amount of federal income tax to withhold from your payment(s). You also may use Form W4-P to choose (a) not to have
any federal tax withheld from the payment (except for eligible rollover distributions or payments to U.S. citizens delivered
outside the United States or its possessions) or (b) to have an additional amount of tax withheld.
What do I need to do? Complete lines A through H of the Personal Allowances Worksheet. Use the additional
worksheets on the following page to further adjust your withholding allowances for itemized deductions, adjustments to
income, any additional standard deduction, certain credits, or multiple pensions/more-than-one-income situations. If you
do not want any federal income tax withheld (see Purpose, earlier), you can skip the worksheets and go directly to the
Form W4-P, Section G of the Form 6000.
Future developments. For the latest information about any future developments affecting Form W-4P, such as
legislation enacted after we release it go to www.irs.gov/w4p.
