Amount to withhold for taxes??

L1: Amount to withhold for taxes??I will beconverting my VANGUARD 401k account toan IRA within the next 2 months. I’m also planningtostart a 72T in Jan./2011 with monthly withdrawls. Can I tell Vanguard to withhold “any amount”, eitherdollar amount orapercentagefor taxes (20% in my case)??2010-06-27 00:23, By: Rick in Ohio, IP: [24.140.72.248]
L2: Amount to withhold for taxes??There should be -0- taxes withheld on the TRUSTEE-TO-TRUSTEE transfer because it is not a taxable transaction.In 2011 you have to project your taxable income to determine the tax liability that you will have.HOWEVER, if you are already 55, or will become 55 during 2010 ( or 2011), and are or will be “separating from service” with that employer,then you see ask the 401-K administrator if they allow partial withdrawals. If so, then you may not even need to set up a SEPP 72-T.Further, if there is employer stock in your 401-K, then ask your HR dept for the “COST BASIS” of this NUA ( Net Unrealized Appreciated Employer Stock), and the current market value. If so, then research the FANTASTIC TAX SAVINGS from this special provision of the tax code.

L4: Amount to withhold for taxes??Rick,Find out what Vanguard allows in the IRA. I am pretty sure you can give them a specific dollar amount or a percentage for the taxes taken out of each SEPP payment. Ken2010-06-27 03:31, By: Ken, IP: [71.192.120.143]
