Q. I am currently employed as a full-time career Senior Executive with 24 years of service and two years additional military service. In December 2018, I turned 70 years old; I’ll reach the 70 ½ mark in three months, in June 2019. According to the TSP document “Withdrawing Your TSP Account After Leaving Federal Service” {p 3, Limitations on Leaving your money in the TSP}, I don’t have to withdraw funds until April 1 of the year following the year I retire. However, I will be subject to the RMD because of my age. Because of the tax implications, I plan to…
Q. I separated from the U.S. Air Force on 12/31/2015 at the age of 53. I had a Uniformed Services TSP during the duration I was in the Air Force. On 01/01/2016 I took a job at the same overseas base and received a civilian TSP at that time. I worked that job until 12/31/2017 and left federal employee for full retirement at the age of 55. I am trying to find out if both the Uniformed Services TSP and the civilian TSP would be exempt from the 10 percent early withdrawal penalty since I stayed in federal service until…
Q. I’m 55 and a civilian employee. I’m retired Air Force, with a bit in my military TSP and a growing amount in my civilian TSP. I’ve just started converting all of my future TSP contributions to go to Roth, for one main reason: I plan to retire at age 62, and we’re going to take a lump-sum distribution of my TSP to purchase a house (won’t be eligible for a mortgage). The TSP balance at the time will be about $400,000 or so (hopefully closer to $500,000). I estimate that roughly 40-50 percent of it will be Traditional, and the rest Roth.…
Q. I retired under the CSRS at age 55 and understand I can withdraw my TSP funds without penalty. If I roll my TSP into an IRA, will I still be able to withdraw prior to age 59 1/2 without penalties?
Q. I accepted the VERA/VISP offer from my agency in 2017 when I was 54 years old. I will turn 56 in one month. Would I be subject to the 10 percent penalty if I withdraw funds from my TSP account? Are there any other options for me to withdraw funds before reaching the age of 59.5?
Q. Can I avoid the 10 percent penalty if I file with the IRS for money I need when I retire under disability? The rest of it I want hand over to a firm like Vanguard … will I be penalized?
Q. I am a retired U.S. Postal Service employee under the CSRS system. Upon retiring I took out a partial lump sum withdraw from my account. My retirement adviser informed me at the time that there was “talk” of allowing more than one lump sum withdraw from one’s Thrift Savings Plan account. Any updates or truth to these rumors? Incidentally, I am not yet receiving my annuity from my TSP account, just that initial lump sum payment upon retiring.
Q. Does the new Thrift Savings Plan withdrawal rule where you can choose to withdraw from either the traditional or Roth TSP accounts apply to RMD withdrawals?
Q. If I retire from the U.S. Postal Service at the age of 56 years old with 31 years of service and have 440 hours annual leave and over 2,300 hours of sick leave, what three checks will I get? I know one is pension and one is supplement, but do I get anything from Social Security or the Thrift Savings Plan? And will I lose 5 percent every year until I’m 62?
