Guest pthomann Posted May 30, 2001 Posted May 30, 2001 Are there any exceptions to the 20% withholding rule for partcipants of a DB plan who rollover their contributions? For example: a DB plan member is issued a check at retirement directly from the pension plan and no tax is withheld. Are some government plans permitted to not withhold?
Guest b2kates Posted May 30, 2001 Posted May 30, 2001 lump sum distributions eligible for rollover are subject to mandatory 20% withholding IRC 3405© If it is not rollover eligible then the 20% withholding does not apply.
david rigby Posted May 30, 2001 Posted May 30, 2001 And don't forget that more states are jumping on the withholding bandwagon. This is a pretty good summary: http://www.cigna.com/professional/pdf/CPA_iidw0201.PDF But it may be out of date. For example, now NC and VA both have 4% withholding. I'm a retirement actuary.

Occasionally, but not all the time, it might be reasonable to interpret my comments as actuarial or consulting advice.
