How is a TSP lump sum payment taxed?
Since the funds you are using to purchase a TSP annuity were deposited pretax and have never been taxed, 100 percent of each payment you receive is taxable as ordinary income in the year it is received. Again, this differs from a pension annuity on which there are some tax exclusions.
How much can you withdraw from TSP per month?
Partial withdrawal – A one-time partial withdrawal must be $1000 or more and is available only if you did not previously receive an age-based, in-service withdrawal while you were employed. A series of monthly payments – Monthly payments over $25 can be a specified dollar amount or distributed according to the IRS life expectancy tables.
