State Tax Withholding (For partial direct rollovers, direct payments to participants and annuitants) You have the right to choose whether or not to have state income tax withheld from your benefit from either Plan. You also have the right to change your state tax withholding election at any time until the benefit check is issued. This benefit may be subject to state income tax. If you elect NOT to have withholding apply to your benefit, or if you do not have enough state income tax withheld from your benefit, you may be responsible for payment of estimated state tax. Also, you may incur penalties under the state estimated tax rules if your withholding and estimated state tax payments are not sufficient. HP will withhold tax in accordance with those states requiring an election at the time of termination. If the state to which the check is being mailed does not require HP to withhold tax, HP will not withhold any tax even if you elect to have state tax withheld. The benefit, however, will be reported as income, and you will be responsible to satisfy any state tax liability. States Requiring a Withholding Election on Retirement Distributions at the Time of Termination STATE TAX WILL NOT BE WITHHELD FOR STATES OTHER THAN THOSE LISTED BELOW California * Rate table based on allowances and marital status Connecticut * Rate table: minimum of $10 withheld Delaware * Follows federal rules (20%) Georgia * Requires withholding with no ability to elect out of withholding: 6% flat rate Indiana * Amount upon request of employee Iowa * 5% flat rate Maine * Requires withholding if federal tax is withheld: 5% flat rate Massachusetts * Rate table based on allowances and marital status Montana * Requires withholding with no ability to elect out of withholding: 4% flat rate Minnesota * 7% flat rate New Jersey * Rate Table New Mexico * 8.5% flat rate Oregon * 8% flat rate South Carolina * 7% flat rate Vermont * 28% of federal tax withheld Virginia * 4% flat rate Financial Effect of Electing Alternate Benefit Forms from the Deferred Profit-Sharing and Retirement Plans The following table shows the monthly dollar value of a single life annuity and Joint and 50% Survivor annuity payable at the indicated age equivalent to a $1,000 DPSP or RP lump sum benefit payable at the same age. The value of the annuity depends on the age when benefits begin as well as the applicable interest rate used to convert the lump sum. Since the interest rate used for conversion is defined by the Internal Revenue Code and can change each month, a range of interest rates is shown. Note: The joint and 50% survivor annuity assumes the joint annuitant is the same age as the participant. If the joint annuitant is a different age, the value of the joint and 50% survivor annuity will change.
