What is form W-4P? Form W-4P is an IRS tax form used by individuals who receive pension or annuity payments to claim exemptions and adjust the amount of federal income tax withheld from those payments.

Form W-4P (W4P) is used to ensure that the correct amount of tax is withheld from your pension or annuity payments so that you don’t end up owing taxes at the end of the year or receiving a large tax refund.

How to Complete Form W-4P

To complete Form W-4P, you’ll need to provide information about your personal circumstances, such as your filing status and the number of exemptions you claim.

You’ll also need to indicate whether you want to have tax withheld from your payments at a flat rate or at a rate based on your expected tax liability for the year.

How Is Form W-4P Different Than Form W-4?

It’s important to keep in mind that Form W-4P is different from Form W-4, which is used by employees to adjust the amount of tax withheld from their paychecks. If you receive both a salary and a pension or annuity, you may need to complete both forms.
