Down payment on a house

0

Q. I have a Thrift Savings Plan account, with about $35,000 in it. I need to make a down payment on a house I want to buy. I have already withdrawn $14,000 this year for other purposes. I probably will need to withdraw some more cash. What forms will I need to use? And what are the pros and cons of withdrawing this additional amount?

A. You’ll find the forms you need at www.tsp.gov. The pros and cons of taking the money from the TSP will depend upon your circumstances.
