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 penal-
ties for insufficient withholding.
• Withholding taxes for Roth IRA distributions is optional.
• The state tax withholding rate, if indicated, must be
provided as a whole number from 1% to 100% for any
one-time withdrawals, or from 1% to 99% for any auto-
matic withdrawals.

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 minimum 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 minimum 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 pre-tax 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 section of the forms, as appropriate.

Tax ID mismatch and have not resolved the issue. Otherwise, state tax withholding is voluntary and you can
