Your tax withholding election will remain in effect on all distributions from this IRA until you change or revoke it. You may change or revoke your tax
withholding election at any time by submitting your request to Schwab. The federal or combined federal and state withholding tax rate of 100% will
not be retained for future distributions. To process a distribution with a federal or combined federal and state withholding tax rate of 100%, please
request a one-time check.
Note:
• Distributions from an IRA that are payable on demand are treated as nonperiodic payments.
• Nonresident aliens are subject to a 30% tax withholding rate and must submit a valid IRS Form W-8BEN to obtain an available reduced tax treaty
rate.
• Generally, Roth IRA distributions are not taxable. Unless you have an existing election on file or elect to withhold on this form, we will not
withhold taxes from your Roth IRA distribution.
A. Federal Income Tax Withholding: 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%
below. Generally, you can't choose less than 10% for payments to be delivered outside the United States and its possessions.
Complete the line below if you would like a rate of withholding that is different from the default withholding rate. See the Marginal Rate Tables
on page 1 and the General Instructions on page 2 of the attached IRS Form W-4R. You may use these tables to help you select the appropriate
withholding rate for this payment or distribution. Instructions on how to best use them are included.
While Schwab makes every effort to obtain information about state tax laws from sources believed to be reliable, Schwab cannot guarantee the
accuracy or timeliness of state tax withholding information because state tax laws are subject to constant change and interpretation. We
recommend that you contact your tax advisor regarding your tax withholding elections and to answer any questions that you may have.
If you do not make an election, Schwab will apply withholding (if required) at the minimum rate based on the laws for your state of residency
as determined by the legal address of record on your account.
Choose one:
I do not want state income tax withheld.
I want state income tax withheld at the rate of % (State tax withholding must be at least your state's minimum tax rate and not
more than 100% when combined with federal income tax withholding.)
Note: If you move between states with different withholding laws, Schwab will apply withholding (if required) at the rate you have provided above or
at the minimum rate based on the laws for your new state of residency, whichever is greater.
