The U.S. TSP Form TSP-16 is used to request an exception to the spousal notice and signature requirements for the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP). It allows participants to apply for exceptions under circumstances such as the spouse's whereabouts being unknown or exceptional circumstances that make obtaining the spouse's signature inappropriate. The form requires personal information, details about the spouse, and supporting documentation to justify the request. Participants must certify the accuracy of their information, and there are legal consequences for false statements.

How do I avoid taxes on my TSP withdrawal?

When making a qualified (age 59 or older) withdraw from a traditional TSP account, the funds are taxed as ordinary income. Taxes can be deferred by rolling over the money to a traditional IRA or an eligible employer plan. Non-qualified withdrawals will add a 10% IRS penalty on top of the taxes due.

Can I withdraw 100% of my TSP?

The TSP is required to withhold 20% from any TSP withdrawal or distribution, but that may not be that only amount of taxes owed. In many instances, the 20% required withholding is just a down payment on your ultimate tax bill for the withdrawal.

At what age can you withdraw from TSP without paying taxes?

There is a 10% penalty for in-service withdrawals if you are younger than age 59 and a half. Traditional TSP withdrawals are subject to federal income tax and possibly state income tax as well, while Roth TSP withdrawals are not, as long as certain requirements are met.

Where can I get TSP tax forms?

A copy of your 2024 Form 1099-R will also be available in your My Account secure participant mailbox by mid-February. If needed, corrected forms will be issued within three weeks of verifying the correction. If youre expecting a corrected Form 1099-R, you may wish to wait to file your taxes until you receive the form.

Do I claim my TSP on taxes?

Its part of your taxable income for the year you make the contribution, and the usual tax withholding applies. The advantage to contributing to your Roth TSP balance is that when you withdraw that money later in life, you dont have to pay taxes on the withdrawal.

What age can I withdraw from my TSP without penalty?
