Voluntary Withholding Request
Form W-4V (Rev. February 2018)

Form W-4V Voluntary Withholding Request (Rev. February 2018) (For unemployment compensation and certain Federal Government and other payments.) Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service ▶ Go to www.irs.gov/FormW4V for the latest information. Instructions Purpose of Form If you receive any government payment shown below, you may use Form W-4V to ask the payer to withhold federal income tax. • Unemployment compensation (including Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) payments). • Social security benefits. • Social security equivalent Tier 1 railroad retirement benefits. • Commodity Credit Corporation loans. • Certain crop disaster payments under the Agricultural Act of 1949 or under Title II of the Disaster Assistance Act of 1988. • Dividends and other distributions from Alaska Native Corporations to its shareholders. Consult your payer if you’re uncertain whether your payment is eligible for voluntary withholding. You aren’t required to have federal income tax withheld from these payments. Your request is voluntary. Note. Payers may develop their own form for you to request federal income tax withholding. If a payer gives you its own form instead of Form W-4V, use that form. Why Should I Request Withholding? You may find that having federal income tax withheld from the listed payments is more convenient than making quarterly estimated tax payments. However, if you have other income that isn’t subject to withholding, consider making estimated tax payments. For more details, see Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. How Much Can I Have Withheld? For unemployment compensation, the payer is permitted to withhold 10% from each payment. No other percentage or amount is allowed. For any other government payment listed above, you may choose to have the payer withhold federal income tax of 7%, 10%, 12%, or 22% from each payment, but no other percentage or amount. What Do I Need To Do? Complete lines 1 through 4; check one box on line 5, 6, or 7; sign Form W-4V; and give it to the payer, not to the IRS. Note. For withholding on social security benefits, give or send the completed Form W-4V to your local Social Security Administration office. Line 3. If your address is outside the United States or the U.S. possessions, enter on line 3 the city, province or state, and name of the country. Follow the country’s practice for entering the postal code. Don’t abbreviate the country name. Line 4. Enter the claim or identification number you use with your payer. For withholding from social security benefits, the claim number is the social security number under which a claim is filed or benefits are paid (for example, 123-45-6789A or 123-45-6789B6). The letter or letter/number combination suffix that follows the claim number identifies the type of benefit (for example, a wage earner, a spouse, or a widow(er)). The claim number may or may not be your own social security number. If you are unsure about what number to use, contact the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 (toll-free). For other government payments, consult your payer for the correct claim or identification number format. Line 5. If you want federal income tax withheld from your unemployment compensation, check the box on line 5. The payer will withhold 10% from each payment. Line 6. If you receive any of the payments listed on line 6, check the box to indicate the percentage (7%, 10%, 12%, or 22%) you want withheld from each payment. Line 7. See How Do I Stop Withholding? below. Sign this form. Form W-4V is not considered valid unless you sign it. When Will My Withholding Start? Ask your payer exactly when income tax withholding will begin. The federal income tax withholding you choose on this form will remain in effect until you change or stop it or the payments stop. How Do I Change Withholding? If you are getting a payment other than unemployment compensation and want to change your withholding rate, complete a new Form W-4V. Give the new form to the payer. How Do I Stop Withholding? If you want to stop withholding, complete a new Form W-4V. After completing lines 1 through 4, check the box on line 7, and sign and date the form; then give the new form to the payer.
