Sure seems quiet on the boards. Poker tonight.

So you are spending $100B to get this off the ground with a 5% match? How many more government employees are they going to need to hire to manage this and what is that cost? You would face a lobby...

Happy Easter...Poker in. 5 minutes

Yes, depending on your age when you retire, it can range from 15 to 30 years. If you are married, spouse's age may be a factor. I wouldn't worry about trying to understand it since you retired...

This is the last year (unless they extend) so if you are going to do it, now would be the time. Credit is 22% for systems installed in 2021, so 73K X 22% = $16K credit or tax liability needed to...

Bullit is right that the IRA rules are more complicated, especially if you retire before 59.5. If you retire after 55 (50 for LEOs) you can withdraw from TSP without penalty. In IRA you would have...

Sunday Night Poker reminder...30 minutes to kick off

Bullitt is correct. The Roth 5 year rule applies to the 1st Roth opened, so it is important to keep track of your various Roths and contributions and to open one sooner than later, even if it is a...

DBA, The current tax system already takes from one to give to others.

I agree that raising the limit or taxing all wages would solve part of the problem. We should raise it at least to the...

Here is an older version of the form OPM uses to determine if the supplement gets reduced https://www.opm.gov/forms/pdf_fill/ri92-022_2019_03.pdf. It is clear that it is your SS wages that they go by...

I don't think TSP will allow anything backdoor and no conversions, but if you have an existing traditional IRA you can transfer it into your TSP. You can also transfer in other retirement accounts...

Leo,

I'm not sure you could do a rollover to TSP in this situation https://www.tsp.gov/account-basics/move-money-into-tsp/ You may want to call TSP.

What agency did you work for? In 2016 it only took 3-4 months to get interim payment adjustment for me but there wasn't any outside factors like COVID
