Q. I turned 70 ½ years old in December 2017. I retired Jan 31, 2018. I am just in the process of applying to withdraw my first Required Minimum Distribution from my Thrift Savings Plan, and decide in a few months what to do with the rest of the money. How can I show that is my intention, if the form I am given to fill up is the TSP-70 (Request for Full Withdrawal)? Also, I have already done a one-time withdrawal in 2013 from my TSP account. Now that I am retired, after I am issued the first RMD,…

Q. I am 86 years old and going to retire in 2018. I want to know how much will I have to take out of my TSP account each month? My wife is 18 years younger than me; can this be used to lessen my required funds that I must take when I retire?
Q. I am a retired FERS employee. I do not have a TSP, but do have other IRA accounts. Since FERS is a qualified plan, is there a required minimum distribution requirement associated with my FERS retirement?
Q. I receive a CSRS annuity only, I don’t have any other investments, i.e. TSP, IRAs or anything close. I turned 70 1/2 in 2017 and the required minimum distributions requirement is confusing. From what I’ve read the past couple of days, it appears that I don’t require any RMD for my situation. Can you clarify?
Q. I know with a traditional IRA if I don’t take my required minimum distributions by 12/31 of the calendar year I turn 70 1/2, I am subject to a steep penalty. However, in reviewing the TSP information, it seems like I can wait until April 1 of the following year, without penalty. Do I understand that right?
Q. I’ll be turning 70½ in 2018 and will start withdrawing my required minimum distribution. My plan is to leave my funds with TSP, then receive the minimum monthly payment and the rest at the end of each year. I’m going to invest a small amount in a balance account. The rest of the money I would like to save for my family. Should I put it in a regular savings account to be safe, or would you suggest something different?
Q. I retired from the federal government in 2013 (before age 70½) and left my TSP account intact. I will be 70½ this year, but continue to work full time as a college professor. Will I still be required to make a mandatory withdrawal from my TSP account even though I continue to work full time, or is that option only available to those who continue to work for the federal government after age 70½?

Q. I’m a Department of the Army civilian employee in FERS. I understand that I can defer taking my TSP required minimum distribution, or RMD, at 70½ if I’m still working, but what about a 401(k) I still have at a former, non-federal employer? Do I have to take my RMD from that at 70½?
