Common questions
Who should fill out Form W-4P?
Use Form W-4P if you receive periodic (regular, recurring) payments from a pension, annuity, or similar retirement plan and want to tell the payer how much federal income tax to withhold. You give the completed form to the payer, not to the IRS. For one-time or nonperiodic payments, the IRS provides a separate form, W-4R.
