Q. I only did four years in the Marines and got out back in ’08. I totally forgot I had a TSP until I got an annual update for it in the mail. All my money is in the G Fund and only has a little over $8,000 in it. Should I leave it alone? Roll it into an IRA? Try and work with it and spread the money in there to the other funds? If so, which ones? I’m 32 years old, and still have plenty of years of being a wage slave ahead of me. The only thing…
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. A co-worker inadvertently put $4,000 into each of their Roth and Traditional IRA TSP accounts this year (they misunderstood the IRA limit laws). What is the best, simplest, and/or most efficient, method for them to rectify this situation with TSP?
Q. I retired before the Roth TSP program was put into place. Can I now convert my TSP account into a Roth TSP account? If not now, how about after changes to withdrawals from TSP are put into effect this year?
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. I’ll be retiring from civil service in two years and I’ll be 70 years old. Is it worth transferring or rolling over my TSP into a Roth TSP on my day of retirement?
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.
