Check your withholding
It’s time for you to do a quick “paycheck checkup.” You’re encouraged to update your federal income tax withholdings for benefit payments that are not eligible rollover distributions. To help you get a better idea, the IRS released a withholding calculator to help you identify your tax withholding. You can access the withholding calculator here.
You can log on to www.myINPRSretirement.org to change your federal income tax withholding election. Alternatively, you may print off the Form W-4P, which is available to download from the IRS website here.
RMD: Plan ahead to avoid interest and penalties
If you still have funds in your defined contribution account, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has a distribution requirement for you, known as the Required Minimum Distribution (RMD).
Individuals who turn 70 ½ on or after 1/1/20 do not have to take their RMD until age April 1 following the year they turn 72. If you do not take an RMD when required, you may be fined by the IRS due to a late distribution.
For more details, give us a call at (844) GO-INPRS or (844) 464-6777. If you have tax questions regarding the RMD, please consult with a tax advisor.
