I am contemplating withdrawing from my TSP due to financial hardship. I'm aware of the initial taxes withheld but not sure of federal and state impacts for the state of Virginia.

    The TSP website explains the tax consequences of a hardship withdrawal:

    https://www.tsp.gov/in-service-withdrawal-basics/financial-hardship/#:~:text=Having%20the%20option%20of%20taking,carefully%20and%20know%20the%20consequences.

     

    An income source that is taxable at the federal level will also be taxable by the State of Virginia.
