What is form W-4P?
Form W-4P is for recipients of payments from pensions, annuities (including commercial annuities), and certain other deferred compensation. Use Form W-4P to tell payers the correct amount of federal income tax to withhold from your payment(s).
You also may use Form W-4P to choose (a) not to have any federal income tax withheld from the payment (except for certain types of distributions or payments) or (b) to have an additional amount of tax withheld.
