2. Information on Federal tax withholding – Tax laws require that we withhold federal income tax from your pension payments unless you instruct us to do otherwise. You have three choices. Please read them carefully and make your selection on the next page. You may choose:

1. To have PBGC withhold no federal income taxes from your payments (not available if you live outside of the United States).

2. To have PBGC follow IRS guidance and calculate your withholding.

If you choose this option, you need to tell us if you are married and the number of allowances you claim. It is possible that we will not withhold any federal income tax even if you choose this option – if, for example, your benefit is low or if you claim a large number of allowances. You may increase the amount we withhold by claiming fewer allowances, by having additional money withheld, or by electing option C.

3. To have PBGC withhold the amount or percentage you tell us to withhold each month.

What if not enough taxes are withheld based on your choice?

PBGC withholds taxes based on the election you make when you apply for your pension benefit.  If you have other income that would affect the amount of taxes you owe, you may need to pay additional taxes.  You may also need to pay penalties to the IRS.  You may wish to consult a tax specialist or the IRS about your decision.

What happens if you do not choose any option?

If you do not choose one of these options, we will withhold federal taxes as if you were a married individual with three allowances. The amount we will withhold depends on your monthly pension.

What if you want to pick a different option later?

You may change your option at any time. To choose a different option, simply call PBGC's Customer Contact Center at 1-800-400-7242. We will then send you a tax withholding form to complete. Depending on when we receive it, we will make the change by the next month or the month after that.

What if you don't live in the United States?

If you live outside the United States, you cannot elect option A. You may be eligible for special tax treatment under a tax treaty with the country you reside in. We will send you additional information after you file this form.

When determining your federal tax withholding, you may find it helpful to read the IRS instructions for completing the IRS Form W-4P (Withholding Certificate for Pension or Annuity Payments). You can print a copy from the IRS Internet site under Forms and Publications at www.IRS.gov.
