Guest moosegirl Posted February 28, 2005 Posted February 28, 2005 The trustee has received an IRS levy on a participant's 401(k) account balance. The participant had rolled over to this plan a large balance from previous employer's plan. The document allows for withdrawals of rollover contributions at any time. The employee has agreed to the levy in order to stop additional interest and penalties from accruing on the amount due IRS. Is this distribution subject to the mandatory 20% withholding?
