Important Information for Completing Your Claim Form To complete the processing of your claim, we must have a completed Claim Form from each beneficiary plus one certified death certificate. If there are multiple beneficiaries, please photocopy the form. DO NOT send the original policies back. INCOME TAX CERTIFICATION AND WITHHOLDING Important State Income Tax Withholding Information In addition to the Federal income tax withholding requirements, some states require withholding on policy gains when federal income tax is withheld. The following states require state income tax withholding when federal income tax withholding is in effect: Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Virginia. If you live in Arkansas, California, Delaware, Georgia, Maine, North Carolina, Oregon or Vermont, we are required to withhold state income tax if federal income tax withholding is in effect, unless you elect not to have state income tax withheld. Certain exceptions and special rules apply in some states. For more information regarding the withholding requirements applicable in your state, please consult your tax advisor or state tax authority. Important Federal Income Tax Withholding Information This information is required to carry out the Internal Revenue laws of the United States and to provide you with some basic information about withholding of Federal income tax from your payment under the policy specified in the Income tax withholding election (Section 4). Generally, Federal withholding applies to taxable payments made from pension, profit sharing, stock bonus, annuity and other employer deferred compensation plans, individual retirement arrangements (IRA), and commercial annuities (which include individual annuity, life insurance and endowment policies). Federal income tax must be withheld at a 10% rate unless you elect not to have withholding apply to the taxable portion of your payment. You can make the election by checking the appropriate box in the Income tax withholding election in Section 4. Non-persons such as corporations, companies, trust, etc., or US citizens living outside the United States cannot elect out of withholding. Generally, your election as to whether taxes are or are not to be withheld will apply to any other payment from the same policy. If you are eligible for a settlement option of continued income payments, you may change this election at any time. Even if you elect not to have Federal income tax withheld, you are liable for payment of such tax on the taxable portion of your payment. There are penalties under the estimated tax payment rules if enough tax has not been paid through estimated tax payments or withholding. If the taxable portion of a payment when added to the taxable portion of all other payments during the year is less than $200, Federal income tax is not required to be withheld. We will not withhold Federal income tax if the payment is being made to the Trustees of a qualified pension or profit sharing plan. Please consult your tax advisor for complete details of the rules discussed above.
