Re: TSP to 401k
It should be an easy custodian to custodian transfer.
Do not accept a disbursement from TSP. If you do than you will get stuck with a 20% IRS holding - at best. If you flub the transfer (if you take a TSP disbursement to yourself) than you will get stuck paying income tax on the whole amount as well.
Talk to your new employer or better yet your employer's 401(k) administrator. It is an easy transfer - but you should never touch a check and should never touch the cash and it should never pass through your personally held accounts. You must have your new employer coordinate the transfer directly through TSP. It happens all the time.
Lookin' up at the 'G Fund'!!!
