What is the penalty for TSP withdrawal?
The early withdrawal penalty is a 10% penalty. In addition to any taxes you owe on your withdrawal, you will owe an additional 10%. The ability to avoid the early withdrawal penalty if you separate in the year you turn 50 or 55 only applies if you leave your money in the TSP – rollovers are subject to the penalty.
