Best Answer

YES the taxable amount of the distribution is added to all of your other gross worldwide income on your 1040 federal income tax return and taxed at your marginal tax rate.

If you are under the age of 59 1/2 and you do NOT meet any of the exemption form the 10% early withdrawal penalty then the 10% early withdrawal penalty will also apply to the taxable amount of the distribution.

You will get a credit for the 20% amount that was withheld from your distribution amount as an advance payment of any possible taxes that would be due. When your 1040 federal income tax return is completed correctly the withheld amount will be entered on page 2 of the 1040 income tax return line 61 Federal income tax withheld from Forms W-2 and 1099 line 61 $$$$ amount.

What tax withholding applies to employee over 70 years old?

The same withholding that applied before the employee turned 70 and will still apply as long as the employee is still working and breathing and earning income.


What is the Maximum withholding allowance?

You can request that your entire paycheck be withheld if you choose. However, the government is not a bank and is not interested in sending you huge checks in the mail at the end of the year. If you give the government more than required, you could get hit with a fine. I'm not sure I understand what your asking....and I suspect you really don't have much of the topic either. You may have 100% of your pay withheld, which may be what would be right, or still too little, if you or your spouse have earnings from other sources that aren't having withholding taken for example. I suspect your trying to ask can you have nothing withheld.... Basically, you can have any amount withheld, high or low, with reason. Many people, (anyone self employed or an independent contractor, etc.), do not have any withholding taken, but they still make regular estimated payments on the future liability. Not having enough withholding taken to qualify as an adequate estimated quarterly payment for the tax that is ultimately due, will mean you will pay substantial penalties and interest (due it intentionally and your beginning to get into the criminal realm), and pay much more than you would have.


What percent of taxes is taken out of paycheck for Florida?

Florida does not have a state income tax. However federal taxes still applies. As such their would be 7.65 withheld for Social Security and Medicare. The amount of federal with holding would depend on what the employee claims on their W-4; i.e. "married and three allowances" would have less withholding than "single and one". Remember that Florida has a great number of retirees and does have an annual tax on investment holdings. You may want to consult a publication called All States Tax Guide.


You claimed zero but still owe taxes?

You mean you claimed 0 on your W-4 and/ or your return? The W-4 is the one that determines withholding. If you claimed say 3 on it and 0 on the return, then that is bound to happen. If you claimed 0 on both, and presuming you have no other income (which could cause additional payment in any case)...then recalc your return, something isn't right.


What is withholding tax mean?

For a better tax payment, it's necessary to have a clear knowledge of the common taxes, especially withholding tax and estimated tax. We may be much more familiar with the withholding tax in daily life, because almost all employees need to file the withholding tax from income. This works similarly for the self-employed ones in the way of estimated tax. In general, tax comes from individuals and corporations by the city, state, or country in which the entity resides or operates. When the tax collected is credited to the government of the country's account, we call it federal tax. It is a pay-as-you-go tax and we can pay this tax in the following two ways. 1. Withholding Tax Withholding tax is one kind of the income tax. It means your boss pay it directly to the government from your salary. And the amount withheld is a credit against the income taxes you must pay during the year. According to IRS, there are two different types of withholding taxes. Firstly, every employer in the United States should file the withholding tax according to employees' personal incomes. And we call it the U.S. Resident Withholding Taxes. The other form is the nonresident withholding taxes. As long as you gain income within the United States, proper taxes is inevitable. All nonresident citizens, who didn't pass the green card or a substantial presence test, must file Form 1040NR if they are in a trade or business in the United States during the year. Meanwhile you can claim standard IRS deduction and exemption when paying U.S. taxes. In a word, withholding tax is necessary for most of us who work in a company. 2. Estimated tax Whether you receive your income from a job, self-employment, or other sources, You must pay estimated taxes on the income during the year. If your income comes from self-employment, business earnings, interest, rent, dividends and other sources, estimated tax is a must. In general, we need to pay estimated tax quarterly, typically in 4 equal installments. Each period has a specific deadline, and your punctuality in the estimated tax helps avoid penalties. Even if you've already missed a few installments for estimated tax, you should still try to pay them as soon as possible. If you are one of them, you need to make estimated tax payments with IRS Form 1040-ES. • Self-Employed Persons or Sole Proprietor Business Owners. Estimated tax payment is necessary if your tax liability is more than $1,000 for the year, including both part-time and full-time enterprises. • Partners, Corporations, and S Corporation Shareholders. Business ownership earnings require estimated tax payments as well. And estimated tax payments occur after $500 tax liability. • People Who Owed Taxes for the Prior Year. If you owed taxes at the end of last year, it probably means that too little was withheld from your paychecks, or you had other income that increased your tax liability.

Do you still have to report your distribution if they already withheld tax on it?

Absolutely...more than ever in fact! The withholding is only done as an estimate of the tax due...and generally is more than enough to protect the Gov't from the actual tax that will be determined by the filing of the return. Hence, you need to include the distribution and reflect the credit for the amount of tax already paid (the withheld amount) and will likely get a refund.
