State Tax Withholding – IRA Withdrawals
Helpful to Know
• Each state sets its own withholding rates and require-
ments on taxable distributions. We apply these rates
unless you direct us not to (where permitted) or you
request a higher rate.
• Your account’s legal / residential address determines
which state’s tax rules apply.
• You are responsible for paying your federal, state,
and local income taxes and any penalties, including
penalties for insufficient withholding.
• Withholding taxes for Roth IRA distributions is optional.

DC
Only applicable if taking a full distribution
of entire account balance.
• If you are taking distribution of your entire account balance and not directly rolling
that amount over to another eligible retirement account, DC requires that a mini
mum amount be withheld from the taxable portion of the distribution, whether or
not federal income tax is withheld. In that case, you must elect to have the mini
mum DC income tax amount withheld by completing the Tax Withholding Section.
• If your entire distribution amount has already been taxed (for instance only after
tax or nondeductible contributions were made and you have no pretax earnings),
you may be eligible to elect any of the withholding options.
• If you wish to take a distribution of both taxable and nontaxable amounts, you
must complete a separate distribution request form for each and complete the Tax
Withholding Election sections of the forms, as appropriate.
MI
• MI generally requires state income tax of at least your state’s minimum require
ments regardless of whether or not federal income tax is withheld.
• Tax withholding is not required if you meet certain MI requirements governing
pension and retirement benefits. Please reference the MI W4P Form for additional
information about calculating the amount to withhold from your distribution.
• Contact your tax advisor or investment representative for additional information
about MI requirements.
All other states
• State tax withholding is voluntary and you can choose the rate you want (any
whole number between 1% and 99%).
