If you receive any government payment shown below, you may use Form W-4V to ask the payer to withhold federal income tax.
- Unemployment compensation (including Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act (RUIA) payments),
- Social security benefits,
- Social security equivalent Tier 1 railroad retirement benefits,
- Commodity Credit Corporation loans, or
- Certain crop disaster payments under the Agricultural Act of 1949 or under Title II of the Disaster Assistance Act of 1988.
You are not required to have federal income tax withheld from these payments. Your request is voluntary.
Note. Payers may develop their own form for you to request federal income tax withholding. If a payer gives you its own form instead of Form W-4V, use that form.
