STATE TAX WITHHOLDING INFORMATION SHEET
This general information is provided to help you understand state income tax withholding requirements for Individual Retirement
Account distributions. While Scottrade makes every effort to obtain information about state tax laws from sources believed to be
reliable, Scottrade cannot guarantee the accuracy or timeliness of state tax withholding information because state tax laws are subject
to constant change and interpretation. We recommend that you contact your tax advisor regarding your tax withholding elections and
answer any questions that you may have regarding your state’s withholding laws.
Scottrade is required to withhold state tax from your distribution based upon state tax law for your state of residency.
Your state of residency is determined by the state in which you legally reside at the time of distribution.
