As an employee of the federal government or a member of the military, you may have been contributing to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) to save for your retirement. When you retire, you have the option to withdraw your funds from the TSP. However, it is important to understand the withdrawal options and consequences before making any decisions.

Here are some steps to follow when planning to withdraw from TSP after retiring from federal service or the military:

1. Review your withdrawal options: You can choose to make a partial or a full, one-time payment or choose to receive monthly payments through TSP. There are also other options to consider, such as transferring your funds to an IRA or another employer-sponsored retirement plan.

2. Understand the tax implications: The money you withdraw from TSP will be subject to federal income taxes. State taxes may also apply, depending on which state you live in. It is important to consult with your accountant or tax professional to determine the amount of taxes you will owe.

3. Consider your withdrawal timing: You can start withdrawing your funds from the TSP as early as 59 ½. If you retire before 59 ½, you will be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty, unless you qualify for an exemption. It is important to plan your withdrawals accordingly to avoid any penalties.

4. Submit your withdrawal request: Once you have reviewed your options and determined your timing, you can submit a withdrawal request to TSP. You can do this online by logging in to your account or by completing a paper form.

5. Monitor your TSP account: Once you have initiated your withdrawal, monitor your TSP account to ensure that the funds are transferred appropriately. If you have chosen monthly payments, monitor your account to ensure that the payments are received on time.

It is important to note that TSP withdrawals cannot be reversed once they are processed. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider your options and consult with a financial advisor before making any withdrawals.

In conclusion, retiring from federal service or the military can be a daunting task, but withdrawing from TSP does not have to be. By following these steps, you can make informed decisions about your TSP withdrawals and ensure a smooth transition into retirement.
