NEW IRS AND CA STATE TAX WITHHOLDING FORMS FOR 2023

The IRS has created a new Form W-4P (Withholding Certificate for Periodic Pension or Annuity Payments) that will be used for requesting any federal tax withholding changes beginning in 2023. The new Form W-4P is now available for your use. The following is a summary of some of the changes to Form W-4P:

     1. You may now select one of the following options:

               - Single or Married Filing Separately

               - Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Surviving Spouse

               - Head of Household

     2. Captures income from multiple jobs/pensions/annuities

     3. Claim dependents and other credits

     4. Default withholding is now Single with no adjustments

        (changed from Married with three (3) allowances)

You may visit your MyLACERS account to view and estimate your tax withholdings. LACERS Members and Beneficiaries who already receive ongoing payments and who do not wish to make changes to their federal tax withholding elections are not required to file a new form; however, it is recommended that you review your withholdings and determine whether an adjustment is necessary. If you live in California and wish to change your state tax withholding election, you will need to submit a separate state tax withholding, Form DE-4P. For more information on new Federal tax withholding forms, please review our Frequently Asked Questions.
