Actually, about 10-12 years ago. I remember getting an
amended W-2P for a client for either the 1990 or 1991 tax
year that showed -0- pension income and $42 in FIT w/h. The
issuer? None other than our Federal Office of Personnel
Management. I still remember the name of the idiot I spoke
to about the matter: Lulu. I literally got off the phone and
hit my head against the wall!

Form W-2P was superseded by Form 1099-R about 20 years ago.
It is no longer used.

I remember them, way back in the late 80's when examining

Harlan, I misread that to be W-4P, since W-2P went out
several years ago. They are looking for a Form 1099R.

Ahah!, Missy. Just looked at your reference above and can't
find a W2-P form anywhere. (Gotcha!

Now, am I the only one who remembers the W2-P form? Surely
there must be somebody, somewhere.

A W2-P form you say? Gee, I haven't seen one of those in
maybe 18 years or so. IRS used to have that form for
pension payments, but they are now reported on a 1099R.

Not sure about what you mean about "not being a team
player", certainly not a tax term. Is it possible then,
that his pension or a portion thereof has been awarded by a
court in what's called a QDRO? If so, that portion will be
taxable to her.

A team player? For which team?

What you want is a 1099R and if I know that, her attorney
should damn well know it too. How do you get it? You have
a judge order him to produce it.

I have never heard of anyone getting a W-2P. Retirement
payments are reported to the recipient on form 1099-R. The
retiree requests withholding on a W-4P form.

How is this your business?

There is a W-4P (like the W-4), to establish the withholding
on the pension distribution.

If there was a pension distribution, she'll get a 1099-R.

Have her contact the employer or pension plan administrator
directly.

I have no idea what you're talking about, having never heard
of a W-2P. A W-4P is used to tell a payor of taxable
pensions how to withhold Federal income tax. Is she
receiving, or about to receive, payments from his pension?
