Withholding on Periodic Payments of Pensions, Annuities
Form W-4P, Withholding Certificate for Periodic Pension or Annuity Payments, has been redesigned for 2022. The new Form W-4P will be used only to request withholding on periodic pension or annuity payments.
Starting in 2022, additional withholding on nonperiodic payments and eligible rollover distributions will be requested on new Form W-4R, Withholding Certificate for Nonperiodic Payments and Eligible Rollover Distributions. While the redesigned Form W-4P and new Form W-4R are available for use in 2022, the IRS is not requiring that they be used until January 1, 2023.

Publication 15-T also provides the amounts employers should add to the wages paid to nonresident alien employees working in the United States when figuring their income tax withholding.
