Are Pennsylvania taxes withheld from an RMD treated like federal taxes and are assumed spread over the entire year thereby eliminating the need for state estimated tax

[Lily2019]

I understand that PA does not tax RMDs but I would like withholding to cover taxes on other investments.  I would like to take my RMD in December.

Ask the financial institution where your retirement plan is held if they will withhold state tax on a distribution. 

I assume that you are aware that you don’t have to take a RMD in2020.

My IRA custodian will withhold Pennsylvania taxes.  This is not for 2020.  I'm planning for 2021.  My real question is if I take my RMD in December will the Pennsylvania withholding be treated as if if was spread over the entire year (like federal withholding).  This would mean that I can eliminate quarterly Pennsylvania estimated taxes and not receive a penalty.

Tax withheld on a distribution taken in December, 2021, will be considered as have been taken throughout 2021.

Is this true for Pennsylvania taxes?  (I know that that is true for Federal but I can't find anything about this for Pennsylvania)....Thank you.
