Huh? If you put $2,264 in box 4 for withholding that’s the amount you have to give the IRS. Your ex will be claiming it as paid on their tax return. It is separate from any withholding you have on your own 1099R. You claim the 8% on your own return from your own 1099R. Wonder why the judge said to withhold 22%? It’s usually 10 or 20%. Yeah I don’t know how you actually send in the withholding check or pay Online.
The judge is saying, you owe $10,000 but you only have to pay $8000. The only logical reason is that the taxpayer already paid the taxes, so they are being ordered to pay the net amount. The taxpayer is not going to withhold anything extra, and should not be sending a 1099-R at all.
