Forward averaging Forward averagingA method of calculating taxes on a lump sum distribution from a qualified retirement plan that enables the tax payer to pay less than the current tax rate.Forward AveragingA former practice allowing certain pensioners in the United States to treat lump sum retirement plan withdrawals as if they occurred over a period of five or 10 years. This allowed qualifying retirees to pay only one-fifth or one-tenth of the taxes that they would otherwise have had to pay in a given year. Forward averaging was discontinued in 2000. |
