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
