I receive a federal CSRS survivor pension. Mr B receives a NY state pension for his 22 years of service for the county.
We noticed that there was an increase in federal withholding effective Jan 1, 2011 on both of our retirement annuity statements. The amount was approx $45 on each pension (1 federal, 1 state).
Mr B researched the IRS site looking for the reason why. No luck.
Does anyone know why federal witholding was increased on retirement benefits?
Was it also increased for the still w*rking folks also?
