I noticed my January RMD was more money than it should have been. Called and was told TSP was using 2021 RMD tables, not the 2022 tables for 2022 because they received the changeover too late to make the change. Found that hard to believe in this day of computers. So what I can do is make the change for Feb. I got several stories about what to do to change my RMD to what it should be. So what I did was to stop my Installment Payments, was told could do this and restart. But then another rep said cannot do that, once you stop installment payments in the year you are receiving them, you cannot restart until next yr. But I stopped Installment Payments based on what one prior rep told me. Then another rep said cannot do that. Once you stop installment payments cannot restart for the year. So now I have to take a fixed dollar amount for rest of 2022. What I was told by another rep was beginning of Feb. was to restart with a specific dollar amount. So taking the over payment that I received in January, deducting that from my proper 2022 RMD and them divide that balance by 11 months left in 2022. So that's what I was told to do, to use 2022 table for my age. Have to wait till beginning Feb. to do this otherwise if done at end of Jan., I would get another payment in Jan. resulting in two Jan. payments or 13 payments for 2022. And I put everything into the G fund end of Dec. Little did I know what would happen beginning of Jan. Retired CSRS LE mandatory end of 2000. Only had approx. 13 yrs with TSP since it's start. I did not switch over to FERS from CSRS when the changeover was made in middle 80's. My experience in calling three different ISP centers is mixed.
