  • Federal Tax Withholding Calculator has been updated to reflect changes to the federal tax tables. (IMPORTANT: This tax calculator should be used only for a preliminary estimate of the amount of federal tax you should have withheld from your monthly pension benefit. Your actual federal tax liability is based on many factors, including all the income you report on your federal tax return, not only the amount of pension benefit you receive from this System. You should consult with your tax preparer or the Internal Revenue Service to ensure that you are having a sufficient amount withheld to cover your federal tax liability. This Withholding Tax Calculation only identifies the amount of federal tax to have withheld from your pension as no benefit paid from this System is subject to the tax of the State of New York or its municipalities.)
