Form W-4P Question

I'm retiring May 1 and will start getting my pension in June. My husband will continue working. His annual pay is $40,200. We file married jointly. We have no other sources of income. My question is about Step 2 line (2bi) what do I enter on this line? I've had some friends tell me to leave it blank or put zero I don't know if this is right either.

Not A Product Question

You can leave section 2 blank on your Form W-4P.

Since you or your husband are not working more than one job and you don't have any other income sources, your withholding should be sufficient.

There are W-4 calculators that you can use to determine if your withholdings will be adequate.

You can use this calculator to calculate your W-4 amounts. Click here for W-4 Calculator.

The IRS also has a Tax Withholding Estimator for Form W-4 Tax Withholding Estimator
