Q. I will be 54 this year, a FERS employees with a minimum retirement age of 56. I am taking early retirement and leaving the end of July with 32 years of service. What can I do to avoid the 10 percent TSP early withdrawal penalty if I want to start withdrawing this year or early next year?
A. If you’re not fully disabled or have huge medical expenses, you’ll need to either take a series of Substantially Equal Periodic Payments as allowed under IRS code section 72t or use your funds to purchase a life annuity. You should consult a CPA or other qualified tax adviser before going down either path, however.
