In a sort of half-a$$ed attempt to minimize the infamous "tax torpedo", I have been withdrawing more from the TSP than an RMD would be, each year since I retired at age 61. Basically I have been leaning on the TSP for spending money a bit more than I otherwise would have and sparing my taxable investment accounts. I hoped by doing so, to draw down the amount invested in my TSP and thus my RMD amounts. So far, so good.
Anyway, 2018 was my first year of RMD's and to meet these requirements, I continued to withdraw the same amount in equal monthly TSP payments as I have been all along. It's taxable but then it has always been taxable.
