Tax Forms
After January 1st, 2023, the new W-4P tax form is required by the IRS for taxation of annuity payments. Or if you are planning on taking required minimum distribution, lump sum payment, or rollover from your account, you may need to complete a W-4R. Complete the W-4N to establish, make changes to, or request exemption from Nebraska State tax withholding.
If you are thinking about accessing these options, you may want to familiarize yourself with these forms at the IRS.GOV website. The instruction sheets on these forms are comprehensive and helpful. NPERS staff are not allowed to provide taxation advisement or guidance, so you may need to take these forms to your tax advisor for review, prior to requesting a distribution or annuity payment.
