you.

No (If you answer "No" to this question, proceed to Section 4.)

as of December 31 of last year. To help determine the fair market value, review the December 31 statement from the firm at which your IRA was
previously held.

7. Withhold Taxes From Your Distribution
Distributions from your IRA (excluding those from Roth IRAs) are generally subject to federal (and possibly state) income tax. Even if you elect in
writing not to have federal and/or state income tax withheld, you are liable for payment of federal and state income taxes, if applicable, on the
taxable portion of your distribution. You may also be subject to tax penalties under the estimated tax payment rules if your withholding and payment
of estimated tax, if any, are not adequate. For more information, see IRS Publication 590-B.
Your tax withholding election will remain in effect on all distributions from this IRA until you change or revoke it. You may change or revoke your tax
withholding election at any time by submitting your request to Schwab.
Note:
• U.S. citizens who are foreign residents are subject to a 10% minimum withholding rate and cannot opt out of withholding.
• Nonresident aliens are subject to a 30% tax withholding rate and must submit a valid IRS Form W-8BEN to obtain an available reduced tax treaty
rate.
A. Federal Income Tax Withholding
Schwab is required to withhold 10% from your gross distribution for payment of federal income tax unless you choose not to have federal income tax
withheld. You may elect not to have withholding apply to your distribution by selecting the option below, and signing and dating this form. If you elect
not to have withholding apply to your distribution, or if you do not have enough tax withheld, you may be responsible for payment of estimated taxes.
You may also incur penalties under the estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated tax payments are not sufficient.
Choose one.
I do not want federal income tax withheld.
I want federal income tax withheld at the rate of
%.
(Federal tax withholding must be a whole number, at least 10%, and not more
than 99% when combined with state income tax withholding.)
B. State Income Tax Withholding
Refer to the State Income Tax Withholding Information sheet for specific information concerning your state's withholding rates.
State income tax withholding from your distribution may be required. In some cases, you may elect not to have withholding apply, or you may elect to
increase the rate of withholding. In other cases, state income tax withholding may not be available.
While Schwab makes every effort to obtain information about state tax laws from sources believed to be reliable, Schwab cannot guarantee the
accuracy or timeliness of state tax withholding information because state tax laws are subject to constant change and interpretation. We
recommend that you contact your tax advisor regarding your tax withholding elections and to answer any questions that you may have.
If you do not make an election, Schwab will apply withholding (if required) at the minimum rate based on the laws for your state of residency as
determined by the legal address of record on your account.
Choose one.
I do not want state income tax withheld.
I want state income tax withheld at the rate of
%.
(State tax withholding must be at least your state's minimum tax rate and not
more than 99% when combined with federal income tax withholding.)
Note: If you move between states with differing withholding laws, Schwab will apply withholding (if required) at the rate you provided above or at the
minimum rate based on the laws for your new state of residency, whichever is greater.

appropriate. This authorization will remain in full force and effect until Schwab has received written or verbal notification (by calling
1-800-435-4000) from me (or either of us) of its termination. Schwab must receive this notification in a time and manner so as to give Schwab
and the Other Financial Institution a reasonable opportunity to act on it.
This authorization may be terminated by any of the parties at any time by calling 1-800-435-4000.
I represent and warrant that I have the authority, acting individually and without notice to any other account holder, to submit the enrollment
request to Schwab as fully and completely as if I were the sole account holder of the Schwab account and the outside account and that all other
owners of the account have authorized me to submit this request to Schwab. I hereby agree to indemnify and hold Schwab harmless from and
against any loss, claim, damage, or liability arising out of or resulting from any action taken by Schwab in reliance upon this representation and
warranty that Schwab in good faith accepts as genuine.
If I am the Schwab IRA account holder, my signature below constitutes my agreement with the terms set forth in Section 8A and, if applicable,
Section 8B. If I am an account holder of the Other Financial Institution, my signature below constitutes my agreement with the terms set forth in
Section 8C. If the Schwab account holder is not an owner on the Outside Financial Institution account, the outside account holder's signature is
