Payments under a qualified domestic relations order. If you are the spouse or former spouse of the participant
who receives a payment from the Plan under a qualified domestic relations order (QDRO), you generally have
the same options the participant would have (for example, you may roll over the payment to your own IRA or an
eligible employer plan that will accept it). Payments under the QDRO will not be subject to the 10% additional
income tax on early distributions.
If you are a nonresident alien
If you are a nonresident alien and you do not do a direct rollover to a U.S. IRA or U.S. employer plan, instead of
withholding 20%, the Plan is generally required to withhold 30% of the payment for federal income taxes. If the
amount withheld exceeds the amount of tax you owe (as may happen if you do a 60-day rollover), you may
request an income tax refund by filing Form 1040NR and attaching your Form 1042-S. See Form W-8BEN for
claiming that you are entitled to a reduced rate of withholding under an income tax treaty. For more information,
see also IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, and IRS Publication 515, Withholding of Tax on
Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities.
Other special rules
If a payment is one in a series of payments for less than 10 years, your choice whether to make a direct rollover
will apply to all later payments in the series (unless you make a different choice for later payments).
If your payments for the year are less than $200 (not including payments from a designated Roth account in the
Plan), the Plan is not required to allow you to do a direct rollover and is not required to withhold for federal
income taxes. However, you may do a 60-day rollover.
Unless you elect otherwise, if your plan’s cashout limit is greater than $1,000, a mandatory cashout of more
than $1,000 (not including payments from a designated Roth account in the Plan) will be directly rolled over to
an IRA chosen by the Plan administrator or the payor. A mandatory cashout is a payment from a plan to a
participant made before age 62 (or normal retirement age, if later) and without consent, where the participant's
benefit does not exceed the plan’s defined cashout limit (not in excess of $5,000 (may or may not include any
amounts held under the plan as a result of a prior rollover made to the plan)).
You may have special rollover rights if you recently served in the U.S. Armed Forces. For more information, see
IRS Publication 3, Armed Forces' Tax Guide.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
You may wish to consult with the Plan administrator or payor, or a professional tax advisor, before

treatment of payments from employer plans in: IRS Publication 575, Pension and Annuity Income;
IRS Publication 590, Individual Retirement Arrangements (IRAs); and IRS Publication 571, Tax-
Sheltered Annuity Plans (403(b) Plans). These publications are available from a local IRS office, on
