Income tax averaging is no longer available to the regular taxpayer with ordinary income.
Income Averaging for Farmers and Fisherman
For taxpayers born before January 2, 1936 that receive A lump sum distribution.
A lump-sum distribution is the distribution or payment, within a single tax year, of an employee's entire balance from all of the employer's qualified pension, profit-sharing, or stock bonus plans. The distribution must have been made under specific conditions:
If you were born before January 2, 1936, or are the beneficiary of a participant born before January 2, 1936, you may be able to elect optional methods of figuring the tax on lump-sum distributions you received from an eligible retirement plan. These optional methods can be elected only once after 1986.
If you actively participated in the plan before 1974, you can treat that portion of the lump-sum distribution as a long-term capital gain taxed at a 20% rate.
You can also elect to figure the tax on the rest of the distribution using the 10-year tax option.
For other situations and further information, see Publication 575, Pension and Annuity Income.
