TSP's Enchanting 59 1/2

Kevin answers a question regarding the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). The question asks if someone who is about to retire, but hasn't yet, can do anything extra with their TSP. The answer is that if the person is 59 and a half or older, they can take some or all of their money and move it to an IRA without incurring any fees or taxes. They can still contribute to their TSP and get the 5 % match if they are a first employee. However, there may be fees when they use the money later on.

If you’re over the age of 50, you’ll be able to contribute $28,000 to the TSP. Now all of that money can go to the Roth side if you want it to. There’s no income limit so the highest-paid federal employee can still do this. Keep in mind the match is gonna go to traditional, regardless of whether you select Roth or traditiona
