Q. I need to make a Required Minimum Distribution from my TSP account. Every time I call TSP for instructions on how to put this in place I get a different answer. Will TSP send me a form or letter with instructions, or do I have to initiate some type of action on my own?

Q. I am retiring in July 2015. I want to roll my TSP into an annuity plan outside of the TSP. I believe it would be called an in-service rollover. I will be 57 years old with 30 years at the postal service. Can I do this now, and is there a penalty or tax problem? If not now, is there any reason I couldn’t do the rollover after I retire without penalty?

Q. Can I pay off a Thrift Savings Plan loan with a transfer or rollover from one of my traditional IRA accounts without tax implications? For example, I take a $50,000 loan from my TSP account and submit the paperwork to my IRA financial institution to transfer $50,000 from my IRA to my TSP account — Can that transfer be done to satisfy the $50,000 TSP loan?

But I can’t find any info as to how I prove permanent disability for tax purposes. I know I can’t work and retired with disability under federal service and Social Security, but is that permanently…

Q. Please provide me with information on how to file a formal complaint concerning TSP processing of a 401(k) rollover from a previous employer. TSP personnel stated there is no formal procedure for complaints, and participants need to contact U.S. Representatives. Is this correct?

Q. I owe $25,000 military deposit. I have $30,000 in a Roth IRA. Can I transfer the money from the Roth IRA to the FERS basic benefit without incurring a penalty?

Q. I’ve got about $340,000 in C, S and I Funds. I have contributed regularly for past 13 years into just the C, S and I. I have $145,000 from a non-TSP balanced fund that I just cashed out of, so I could roll into TSP. Should I roll it all into G fund based upon the current market outlook?
