One-Time Withdrawal Fidelity Retirement Plan
Use this form to request a one-time withdrawal from a Fidelity Self-Employed 401(k), Profit Sharing, or Money Purchase Plan
account. Possible requests include a one-time, immediate distribution; a qualified or direct conversion to a Roth IRA; or a direct
rollover. Do NOT use this form for a Traditional, Rollover, Roth, SEP, SIMPLE, or Inherited IRA; annuities; or nonretirement accounts.
Type on screen or fill in using CAPITAL letters and black ink. If you need more room for information, make a copy of the relevant page.
Helpful to Know
Distributions from the Fidelity Retirement Plan [i.e., Profit
Sharing, Money Purchase Pension Plan, or Self-Employed
401(k) Plan] are only permitted when a participant
reaches age 59½, separates from service, becomes
disabled, the plan is terminated, or due to the death of
the participant. Distributions for any other reason may
result in plan disqualification.
Distributions to married participants from any money
purchase plan and certain profit-sharing plans must be
made in the form of a joint and survivor annuity, unless
your spouse waives this right by providing spousal con-
sent on this form. You are encouraged to consult your
tax advisor regarding the tax implications associated with
each distribution.
Nonresident aliens must provide IRS Form W-8BEN and a
U.S. or foreign tax identification number.
If you are making withdrawals from both a money
purchase plan and a profit-sharing plan, you must
complete a separate form for each account.
If this form directs Fidelity to sell shares of any security, be
aware that the timing of the transaction depends on when
we receive this form, which is outside of your control. To
better control the timing of the transaction, you should
direct the sale of securities online or through a Fidelity
representative. Note: Certain securities (such as options,
certain fixed income securities, and thinly traded securities)
may not be eligible to sell via this form, which may result
in Fidelity not being able to process this withdrawal
as requested.
Any fees charged or expenses incurred in connection with
your instructions will be assessed at the “rep-assisted”
rates. Fees and expenses may be lower if you instead place
your trades online. Please refer to the Schedule of Fees for
more information.
• For mutual funds, note that:
Withdrawals could trigger redemption or transaction
fees (see the applicable fund prospectus).
If a fund is closed to new investors, you will not be
able to purchase new shares of the fund in the future if
you draw your fund balance down to zero.

NOTE: If your distribution is eligible for a rollover/conversion and that is the only payment method chosen in Section 4, tax withholding
is not mandated by the IRS and cannot be withheld on this request. Please skip to Section 6.
Do NOT complete this section if you are a nonresident alien. Instead, the nonresident alien tax-withholding rate of 30% will apply.
Mandatory 20% Withholding
Per IRS rules, you cannot elect out of the 20% federal tax withholding if your distribution is eligible to be rolled over/converted and you
have elected a different payment method. This mandatory withholding of 20% does not apply if you are taking your RMD.
Distributions not subject to the Mandatory 20% Withholding
For one-time withdrawals that are not subject to the 20% withholding as described above, such as RMDs, IRS regulations require federal tax
withholding at the rate of 10%, unless you elect not to have withholding apply. If federal income tax withholding is applied to your distribu-
tion, state income tax may also apply. See “State Tax Withholding Retirement Plan Withdrawals” at the end of this form.
Specify your tax withholding election. Only applicable if not subject to mandatory withholding.

Notice Regarding Retirement Plan Payments
Your Rollover Options
You are receiving this notice because all or a portion of a payment you are receiving from the___________________________[INSERT
NAME OF PLAN] (the “Plan”) is eligible to be rolled over to an IRA or an employer plan. This notice is intended to help you decide
whether to do such a rollover.
This notice describes the rollover rules that apply to payments from the Plan that are not from a designated Roth account (a type of
account with special tax rules in some employer plans). If you also receive a payment from a designated Roth account in the Plan,
you will be provided a different notice for that payment, and the Plan administrator or the payor will tell you the amount that is
being paid from each account.
Rules that apply to most payments from a plan are described in the “General Information About Rollovers” section. Special rules
that only apply in certain circumstances are described in the “Special Rules and Options” section.
GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ROLLOVERS
How can a rollover affect my taxes?
You will be taxed on a payment from the Plan if you do not
roll it over. If you are under age 59½ and do not do a roll-
over, you will also have to pay a 10% additional income tax
on early distributions (generally, distributions made before
age 59½), unless an exception applies. However, if you
do a rollover, you will not have to pay tax until you receive
payments later and the 10% additional income tax will not
apply if those payments are made after you are age 59½ (or if
an exception applies).
What types of retirement accounts and plans may
accept my rollover?
You may roll over the payment to either an IRA (an individual
retirement account or individual retirement annuity) or an
employer plan (a tax-qualified plan, section 403(b) plan, or
governmental section 457(b) plan) that will accept the rollover.
The rules of the IRA or employer plan that holds the rollover
will determine your investment options, fees, and rights to
payment from the IRA or employer plan (for example, no
spousal consent rules apply to IRAs and IRAs may not provide
loans). Further, the amount rolled over will become subject to
the tax rules that apply to the IRA or employer plan.
How do I do a rollover?
There are two ways to do a rollover. You can do either a
direct rollover or a 60-day rollover.
If you do a direct rollover, the Plan will make the payment
directly to your IRA or an employer plan. You should contact
the IRA sponsor or the administrator of the employer plan for
information on how to do a direct rollover.
If you do not do a direct rollover, you may still do a rollover
by making a deposit into an IRA or eligible employer plan
that will accept it. Generally, you will have 60 days after you
receive the payment to make the deposit. If you do not do
a direct rollover, the Plan is required to withhold 20% of the
taxable payment for federal income taxes (up to the amount
of cash and property received other than employer stock).
This means that, in order to roll over the entire payment
in a 60-day rollover, you must use other funds to make
up for the 20% withheld. If you do not roll over the entire
amount of the payment, the portion not rolled over will be
taxed and will be subject to the 10% additional income tax
on early distributions if you are under age 59½ (unless an
exception applies).
How much may I roll over?
If you wish to do a rollover, you may roll over all or part of
the amount eligible for rollover. Any payment from the Plan
is eligible for rollover, except:
Certain payments spread over a period of at least 10 years
or over your life or life expectancy (or the lives or joint life
expectancy of you and your beneficiary);
Required minimum distributions after age 70½ (if you were
born before July 1, 1949) or age 72 (if you were born after
June 30, 1949).
Hardship distributions;
ESOP dividends;
Corrective distributions of contributions that exceed tax law
limitations;
Loans treated as deemed distributions (for example, loans
in default due to missed payments before your employment
ends);
Cost of life insurance paid by the Plan;
Payments of certain automatic enrollment contributions
requested to be withdrawn within 90 days of the first
contribution; and
Amounts treated as distributed because of a prohibited
allocation of S corporation stock under an ESOP (also, there
will generally be adverse tax consequences if you roll over a
distribution of S corporation stock to an IRA).
Qualified birth or adoption distributions from an eligible
retirement plan or IRA. However, any such distribution may
be repaid as a rollover contribution to an eligible retirement
plan or IRA.
The Plan administrator or the payor can tell you what portion
of a payment is eligible for rollover.
1.820513.108
If I don’t do a rollover, will I have to pay the 10%
additional income tax on early distributions?
If you are under age 59½, you will have to pay the 10%
additional income tax on early distributions for any payment
from the Plan (including amounts withheld for income tax)
that you do not roll over, unless one of the exceptions listed
below applies. This tax applies to the part of the distribution
that you must include in income and is in addition to the
regular income tax on the payment not rolled over.
The 10% additional income tax does not apply to the
following payments from the Plan:
Payments made after you separate from service if you will
be at least age 55 in the year of the separation;
Payments from a pension, profit sharing, or 401(k) plan after
you attain age 59 1/2;
Payments that start after you separate from service if
paid at least annually in equal or close to equal amounts
over your life or life expectancy (or the lives or joint life
expectancy of you and your beneficiary);
Payments from a governmental plan made after you separate
from service if you are a qualified public safety employee and
you will be at least age 50 in the year of separation;
Payments made due to disability;
Payments after your death;
Payments of ESOP dividends;
Corrective distributions of contributions that exceed tax
law limitations;
Cost of life insurance paid by the Plan;
Payments made directly to the government to satisfy a
federal tax levy;
Payments made under a qualified domestic relations
order (QDRO);
Payments up to the amount of your deductible medical
expenses (without regard to whether you itemize
deductions for the taxable year);
Certain payments made while you are on active duty if you
were a member of a reserve component called to duty after
September 11, 2001, for more than 179 days;
Payments of certain automatic enrollment contributions
requested to be withdrawn within 90 days of the
first contribution;
Payments due to major disasters that are located in a
qualified disaster area as declared by the President of the
United States under section 401 of the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act;
Phased retirement payments made to federal employees;
and
Qualified birth or adoption distributions from an eligible
retirement plan or IRA up to $5000 (in aggregate) per birth
or adoption.
If I do a rollover to an IRA, will the 10% additional
income tax apply to early distributions from
the IRA?
If you receive a payment from an IRA when you are under
age 59½, you will have to pay the 10% additional income
tax on early distributions on the part of the distribution that
you must include in income, unless an exception applies.
In general, the exceptions to the 10% additional income
tax for early distributions from an IRA are the same as the
exceptions listed above for early distributions from a plan.
However, there are a few differences for payments from an
IRA, including:
The exception for payments made after you separate
from service if you will be at least age 55 in the year of the
separation (or age 50 for qualified public safety employees)
does not apply.
The exception for qualified domestic relations orders
(QDROs) does not apply (although a special rule applies
under which, as part of a divorce or separation agreement,
a tax-free transfer may be made directly to an IRA of a
spouse or former spouse).
The exception for payments made at least annually in equal
or close to equal amounts over a specified period applies
without regard to whether you have had a separation
from service.
There are additional exceptions for (1) payments for
qualified higher education expenses, (2) payments up
to $10,000 used in a qualified first-time home purchase,
and (3) payments for health insurance premiums after
you have received unemployment compensation for 12
consecutive weeks (or would have been eligible to receive
unemployment compensation but for self-employed status).
Will I owe State income taxes?
This notice does not describe any State or local income tax
rules (including withholding rules).
SPECIAL RULES AND OPTIONS
If your payment includes after-tax contributions
After-tax contributions included in a payment are not taxed.
If a payment is only part of your benefit, an allocable portion
of your after-tax contributions is included in the payment, so
you cannot take a payment of only after-tax contributions.
However, if you have pre-1987 after-tax contributions
maintained in a separate account, a special rule may apply to
determine whether the after-tax contributions are included
in a payment. In addition, special rules apply when you do a
rollover, as described below.
You may roll over to an IRA a payment that includes after-
tax contributions through either a direct rollover or a 60-day
rollover. You must keep track of the aggregate amount of
the after-tax contributions in all of your IRAs (in order to
determine your taxable income for later payments from
Page 2 of 4
1.820513.108
Page 3 of 41.820513.108
the IRAs). If you do a direct rollover of only a portion of the
amount paid from the Plan and at the same time the rest
is paid to you, the portion directly rolled over consists first
of the amount that would be taxable if not rolled over. For
example, assume you are receiving a distribution of $12,000,
of which $2,000 is after-tax contributions. In this case, if you
directly roll over $10,000 to an IRA that is not a Roth IRA, no
amount is taxable because the $2,000 amount not directly
rolled over is treated as being after-tax contributions. If you
do a direct rollover of the entire amount paid from the Plan to
two or more destinations at the same time, you can choose
which destination receives the after-tax contributions.
If you do a 60-day rollover to an IRA of only a portion of a
payment made to you, the after-tax contributions are treated
as rolled over last. For example, assume you are receiving
a distribution of $12,000, of which $2,000 is after-tax
contributions, and no part of the distribution is directly rolled
over. In this case, if you roll over $10,000 to an IRA that is not
a Roth IRA in a 60-day rollover, no amount is taxable because
the $2,000 amount not rolled over is treated as being after-
tax contributions.
You may roll over to an employer plan all of a payment that
includes after-tax contributions, but only through a direct
rollover (and only if the receiving plan separately accounts
for after-tax contributions and is not a governmental
section 457(b) plan). You can do a 60-day rollover to an
employer plan of part of a payment that includes after-tax
contributions, but only up to the amount of the payment that
would be taxable if not rolled over.
If you miss the 60-day rollover deadline
Generally, the 60-day rollover deadline cannot be extended.
However, the IRS has the limited authority to waive the dead-
line under certain extraordinary circumstances, such as when
external events prevented you from completing the rollover
by the 60-day rollover deadline. Under certain circumstances,
you may claim eligibility for a waiver of the 60-day rollover
deadline by making a written self-certification. Otherwise, to
apply for a waiver from the IRS, you must file a private letter
ruling request with the IRS. Private letter ruling requests
require the payment of a nonrefundable user fee. For more
information, see IRS Publication 590-A, Contributions to
Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs).
If your payment includes employer stock that you
do not roll over
If you do not do a rollover, you can apply a special rule to
payments of employer stock (or other employer securities)
that are either attributable to after-tax contributions or paid
in a lump sum after separation from service (or after age
59½, disability, or the participant’s death). Under the
special rule, the net unrealized appreciation on the stock
will not be taxed when distributed from the Plan and will
be taxed at capital gain rates when you sell the stock. Net
unrealized appreciation is generally the increase in the
value of employer stock after it was acquired by the Plan.
If you do a rollover for a payment that includes employer
stock (for example, by selling the stock and rolling over the
proceeds within 60 days of the payment), the special rule
relating to the distributed employer stock will not apply to
any subsequent payments from the IRA or employer plan.
The Plan administrator can tell you the amount of any net
unrealized appreciation.
If you were born on or before January 1, 1936
If you were born on or before January 1, 1936, and receive a
lump sum distribution that you do not roll over, special rules
for calculating the amount of the tax on the payment might
apply to you. For more information, see IRS Publication 575,
Pension and Annuity Income.
If you roll over your payment to a Roth IRA
If you roll over a payment from the Plan to a Roth IRA, a
special rule applies under which the amount of the payment
rolled over (reduced by any after-tax amounts) will be
taxed. However, the 10% additional income tax on early
distributions will not apply (unless you take the amount
rolled over out of the Roth IRA within 5 years, counting from
January 1 of the year of the rollover).
If you roll over the payment to a Roth IRA, later payments from
the Roth IRA that are qualified distributions will not be taxed
(including earnings after the rollover). A qualified distribution
from a Roth IRA is a payment made after you are age 59½
(or after your death or disability, or as a qualified first-time
homebuyer distribution of up to $10,000) and after you have had
a Roth IRA for at least 5 years. In applying this 5-year rule, you
count from January 1 of the year for which your first contribution
was made to a Roth IRA. Payments from the Roth IRA that are
not qualified distributions will be taxed to the extent of earnings
after the rollover, including the 10% additional income tax on
early distributions (unless an exception applies). You do not have
to take required mini-mum distributions from a Roth IRA during
your lifetime. For more information, see IRS Publication 590-A,
Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs), and
IRS Publication 590-B, Distributions from Individual Retirement
Arrangements (IRAs).
If you are not a plan participant
Payments after death of the participant. If you receive a
distribution after the participant’s death that you do not roll
over, the distribution will generally be taxed in the same
manner described elsewhere in this notice. However, the 10%
additional income tax on early distributions and the special
rules for public safety officers do not apply, and the special
rule described under the section “If you were born on or
before January 1, 1936” applies only if the participant was
born on or before January 1, 1936.
If you are a surviving spouse. If you receive a payment
from the Plan as the surviving spouse of a deceased
participant, you have the same rollover options that the
participant would have had, as described elsewhere in this
notice. In addition, if you choose to do a rollover to an IRA,
you may treat the IRA as your own or as an inherited IRA.
Page 4 of 41.820513.108
An IRA you treat as your own is treated like any other IRA
of yours, so that payments made to you before you are
age 59½ will be subject to the 10% additional income tax
on early distributions (unless an exception applies) and
required minimum distributions from your IRA do not
have to start until after you are age 70½ (if you were born
before July 1, 1949) or age 72 (if you were born after
June 30, 1949).
If you treat the IRA as an inherited IRA, payments from the
IRA will not be subject to the 10% additional income tax on
early distributions. However, if the participant had started
taking required minimum distributions, you will have to
receive required minimum distributions from the inherited
IRA. If the participant had not started taking required
minimum distributions from the Plan, you will not have to start
receiving required minimum distributions from the inherited
IRA until the year the participant would have been age 70½
(if he or she was born before July 1, 1949) or age 72 (if he or
she was born after June 30, 1949).
If you are a surviving beneficiary other than a spouse. If you
receive a payment from the Plan because of the participant’s
death and you are a designated beneficiary other than a
surviving spouse, the only rollover option you have is to do a
direct rollover to an inherited IRA. Payments from the inherited
IRA will not be subject to the 10% additional income tax on
early distributions. You will have to receive required minimum
distributions from the inherited IRA.
Payments under a qualified domestic relations order. If you
are the spouse or former spouse of the participant who
receives a payment from the Plan under a qualified domestic
relations order (QDRO), you generally have the same options
and the same tax treatment that the participant would have
(for example, you may roll over the payment to your own IRA
or an eligible employer plan that will accept it). However,
payments under the QDRO will not be subject to the 10%
additional income tax on early distributions.
If you are a nonresident alien
If you are a nonresident alien and you do not do a direct rollover
to a U.S. IRA or U.S. employer plan, instead of withholding 20%
of the taxable amount, the Plan is generally required to withhold
30% of the taxable amount of the payment for federal income
taxes. If the amount withheld exceeds the amount of tax you owe
(as may happen if you do a 60-day rollover), you may request
an income tax refund by filing Form 1040NR and attaching
your Form 1042-S. See Form W-8BEN for claiming that you are
entitled to a reduced rate of withholding under an income tax
treaty. For more information, see also IRS Publication 519, U.S.
Tax Guide for Aliens, and IRS Publication 515, Withholding of Tax
on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities.
Other special rules
If a payment is one in a series of payments for less than 10
years, your choice whether to make a direct rollover will apply
to all later payments in the series (unless you make a different
choice for later payments).
If your payments for the year are less than $200 (not including
payments from a designated Roth account in the Plan), the
Plan is not required to allow you to do a direct rollover and is
not required to withhold for federal income taxes. However,
you may do a 60-day rollover.
Unless you elect otherwise, a mandatory cashout of more
than $1,000 (not including payments from a designated Roth
account in the Plan) will be directly rolled over to an IRA
chosen by the Plan administrator or the payor. A mandatory
cashout is a payment from a plan to a participant made
before age 62 (or normal retirement age, if later) and without
consent, where the participant’s benefit does not exceed
$5,000 (not including any amounts held under the plan as a
result of a prior rollover made to the plan).
You may have special rollover rights if you recently served
in the U.S. Armed Forces. For more information on special
rollover rights related to the U.S. Armed Forces, see IRS
Publication 3, Armed Forces’ Tax Guide. You also may have
special rollover rights if you were affected by a federally
declared disaster (or similar event), or if you received a
distribution on account of a disaster. For more information
on special rollover rights related to disaster relief, see the IRS
website at www.irs.gov.

Let’s Talk about Protecting Your Money
A wire transfer is an easy, convenient way to send money to people you know. If you provide your information or send money to a scammer,
though, there is often little we can do to help get your money back. Here are some examples of common scams, things to ask yourself
before sending any funds, and what to do next if faced with one of these scams. Remember, in EVERY scenario, the first step is to STOP
communicating with the person immediately!
Romance Scam
What is it? A romance scam is a fraudulent scheme in which a fraudster pretends romantic interest in a target, establishes a relationship,
and then attempts to get money or personal sensitive information from the target under false pretenses.
What to do next if you suspect you’re a victim:
• Talk to someone you trust about your new relationship.
• Do a reverse image search of the person’s picture to see if it’s associated with another name or if the details don’t match.
Grandparent Scam
What is it? A scammer calls or emails you, posing as either a relative in distress or someone claiming to represent the relative (such as a
lawyer or law enforcement agent). The caller explains that the “relative” is in trouble and needs them to wire funds “immediately” for bail
money, lawyer’s fees, hospital bills, or another fictitious expense.
What to do next if you suspect you’re a victim:
• Call the relative (or their parent) directly, at their known phone number.
• If told you have to act quickly, resist that urge.
Verify, verify, verify!
Sweepstakes/Inheritance Scam
What is it? You receive a notice stating that you’ve won a “big prize” or have received an unexpected inheritance. You’re told that in order
to claim the “prize” or “inheritance,” you need to send funds to cover “processing fees” or “taxes.” Once the money is sent, you never see
your prize or inheritance.
What to do next if you suspect you’re a victim:
Independently verify the information by consulting reputable resources. Do not rely on resources the scammer gives you, since they are
probably involved in the scam as well.
Remember, you cannot win a sweepstakes you never entered!
Investment Scam
What is it? An investment scam involves the illegal or purported sale of a financial instrument. The typical investment scam is characterized
by offers of low or no-risk investments, guaranteed returns, etc.
What to do next if you suspect you’re a victim:
Don’t trust a person or company just because they have a website; a convincing website can be set up quickly.
• Be cautious when responding to special investment offers, especially through unsolicited email.
Check with other resources regarding this person or company, and inquire about all the terms and conditions.
Watch for red flags Here are some examples of red flags that should make you think twice before sending money.
• A person or company solicits business from you rather than your finding them on your own.
• The requestor asks you to send the wire to a name different from their own.
• After just a few contacts, they profess strong feelings for you and ask to chat with you.
• They threaten legal action if the funds are not sent “right away.”
• The wiring instructions seem unusual, they change, or you’re asked to go to a different financial institution.
• You are coached on how to respond to questions your financial institution might ask you regarding the transaction.
• If you met on a dating site, they will try and move you away from the site and communicate via chat or email instead.
• Messages may be full of typing errors, poorly written, or vague, and may escalate quickly if you show resistance.
• The messages or calls become more desperate and/or persistent, and if you do send money, they ask you to send more.
Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
