Withholding is optional on regular periodic retirement pension payments. You may request withholding if you wish. Ask the payer for a withholding form.
However, pension payments (except for return of employee after-tax contributions and Roth 401k employee contributions and earnings) are taxable. You will have to pay tax on them when you file your tax return at the end of the year. And if you don't have withholding, you may have to make quarterly estimated tax payments in order to avoid an underpayment penalty.

What is the amount withheld from employee's pension?
There is no mandatory federal withholding from regular pension payments. Your pension payer will give you a Form W-4P (or their own equivalent) to fill out. You may elect not to have any federal taxes taken out. Or you may specify withholding allowances the same way you do from a salary on a Form W-4. If you elect to have federal withholding taken out, it is taken out at the same rate as for salary or wages, except that you will not be paying Social Security or Medicare tax. You can find the amount that will be taken out using the following calculator: http://www.paycheckcity.com/NetPayCalc/netpaycalculator.asp State laws vary by state. Lump-sum distributions from an employer plan that are eligible for rollover to an IRA and are paid directly to an employee (rather than transfered directly to another retirement plan) are subject to a mandatory 20% federal withholding. Remember that the amount withheld from your payments does not represent the actual amount of tax you owe. That is calculated when you fill out your Form 1040 at the end of the year. If you had too much withheld, you will get a refund when you file Form 1040. If you did not have enough withheld, you will need to pay the difference. If the difference is more than $1000 and you do not meet one of the various other exceptions, you may have to pay a modest penalty for underwithholding.
