Your withholding rate is determined by the type of payment you will receive.
• For nonperiodic payments, the default withholding rate is 10%. You can choose to have a different rate by entering a rate between
0% and 100% on line 2. Generally, you can’t choose less than 10% for payments to be delivered outside the United States and its
territories.
• For an eligible rollover distribution, the default withholding rate is 20%. You can choose a rate greater than 20% by entering the rate
on line 2. You may not choose a rate less than 20%.
See page 2 for more information.

Purpose of form. Complete Form W-4R to have payers
withhold the correct amount of federal income tax from your
nonperiodic payment or eligible rollover distribution from an
employer retirement plan, annuity (including a commercial
annuity), or individual retirement arrangement (IRA). See
page 2 for the rules and options that are available for each
type of payment. Don’t use Form W-4R for periodic
payments (payments made in installments at regular
intervals over a period of more than 1 year) from these plans
or arrangements. Instead, use Form W-4P, Withholding
Certificate for Periodic Pension or Annuity Payments. For
more information on withholding, see Pub. 505, Tax
Withholding and Estimated Tax.
Caution: If you have too little tax withheld, you will generally
owe tax when you file your tax return and may owe a penalty
unless you make timely payments of estimated tax. If too
much tax is withheld, you will generally be due a refund
when you file your tax return. Your withholding choice (or an
election not to have withholding on a nonperiodic payment)
will generally apply to any future payment from the same
plan or IRA. Submit a new Form W-4R if you want to change
your election.
