I have a question about tax elections for pension payout

Asked onFriday, November 24, 2023 by Julianne

I'm trying to get a pension payout from my old employer, and they told me today that my state tax elections were defaulted at single zero. My husband and I always file our taxes jointly, so I'm wondering what that would mean for our taxes this coming year. They told me that I'm able to change my elections and they can start new paperwork, but I have to do it before Monday, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to do this. Thanks very much for your help.
