New Retirees


On October 31st, U.S. Bank will be mailing the annual TEFRA Notice. The TEFRA Notice informs the recipient of their right to choose or change how much federal income tax is withheld from their pension payment.
-
No Action is required. If you do not wish to change your current withholding election you do not need to do anything.
-
If you wish to change your Federal (or State) tax withholding election, please complete the Federal Form W-4P that can be found on the IRS.gov website or the CharlotteFireRetire.com website under the Forms tab. For individual State withholding forms, you may visit your state’s Department of Revenue website. For North Carolina residents, the NC State withholding form can also be found on the CharlotteFireRetire.com website.
Return completed forms (including your signature and date) to the CFRS office via fax at 704-626-7365; mail at CFRS, 428 E. Fourth St, Suite 205, Charlotte NC 28202; or email at cfrs@charlottenc.gov. You may also return your forms to USBank to the address or fax number provided. ** Please note that when sending anything via email, do not include your full social security number on the form. The last 4 digits of your SSN would suffice.

Address Changes – Did you move? Are you moving?
Please remember that whenever you move, either temporarily or permanently, it is important
to let us know by submitting a change of address form. You may obtain a form by contacting
the CFRS office at 704-626-2728, visiting our website at charlottefireretire.com\Forms, or
calling USBank at 1-800-843-2399 M-F 6am-7pm.
