Withholding Notice
FOR IRA/IRRA
®
/Roth IRA/SEP/SRA Distributions Only
Federal income taxes are required to be withheld (subtracted) from your distribution at a rate of 10% unless you tell us that you do not want any taxes withheld. State income taxes
will be withheld according to requirements of the state in which you reside. You must use this form to instruct us whether you want income taxes withheld from distributions you will
receive from your retirement account. Certain states require that you complete their state form to opt-out of state taxes when your distribution is subject to federal income taxes. To
determine your state’s requirements, please refer to the supplemental State Tax Withholding Rate Document. Even if you elect to not have federal and state taxes withheld from your
distribution, you are liable for payment of federal and state income taxes on the taxable portion of your distribution.
How to choose not to have taxes withheld.
If you do not want any federal taxes withheld from your distributions, check the appropriate boxes in Part 4 (Withholding Election) on the Distribution Form and sign at the bottom.
Your selection will also serve as an election not to have state taxes withheld from your distributions. If you do want state taxes withheld check the appropriate box and indicate the
applicable state withholding rates.
If you do not make an election we will assume you choose to have federal and, if applicable, state income taxes withheld from all distributions.
Estimated Taxes. Under Internal Revenue Service Rules, if you choose not to have federal income taxes withheld, or if the amount withheld from your distribution is not sufficient,
you may be responsible for paying estimated taxes each quarter. When your actual taxes for a year are determined, you could incur IRS penalties if your estimated federal income
tax payments were not sufficient. You may incur similar tax penalties under state law.
