  • Massachusetts State Retirement Board

With the start of 2020, the Board has applied the new federal withholding tables released by the IRS. Please review your monthly withholding amounts to determine if they are appropriate for you.

If you would like to change your Federal tax withholding amount with the Board, please complete an IRS W-4P Tax Form and mail it to our Boston office. The form can be downloaded by clicking the following link: https://www.mass.gov/doc/msrb-retireesurvivor-w-4p-federal-tax-withholding-change-form/download. Depending upon when the Board receives your form, your new changes will be reflected either in your March or April benefit payment.

Please note that Board staff cannot provide individual tax advice, and we recommend that you contact a tax professional if you have questions in this regard.

If you have any other questions, please contact our offices at 617-367-7770. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in this matter.

Sincerely,
Massachusetts State Retirement Board
