      Military Retired Pay and Federal

                  Tax Withholding

l   Military retired pay is subject to Federal taxes.

l     Most military retirees are not eligible to claim exempt from withholding of 
federal taxes.

l     Having little or no federal tax withheld from retired pay could result in 
additional Penalties and Interest.

l     Use Form W-4 (not Form W-4P) for federal tax withholding on military 
retirement pay.

l     For more information, please refer to IRS Publication 505, Tax Withholding 
and Estimated Tax.

      For help with your Form W-4 use the search engine on

      www.irs.gov and input the word “calculator”. Click on

      “IRS Withholding Calculator” and fill in the

               information that applies to you.
