Get matched with a Federal Retirement Consultant in Alaska

Getting matched in Alaska

Alaska has no state income tax, so a FERS annuity, TSP withdrawals and Social Security are not taxed at the state level.

That matters because the federal rules are identical in every state, but the take-home is not. A retirement date, a survivor election or a TSP withdrawal plan that is right in one state can land differently in another once state tax is counted. A consultant who serves Alaska reads your plan with that in view.

How Alaska taxes a federal retirement

Alaska levies no individual income tax of any kind, so your FERS basic annuity is not taxed by the state. There is no age condition and no dollar cap to plan around.

Traditional TSP withdrawals are not taxed by Alaska because the state has no individual income tax.

Alaska does not tax Social Security benefits because it has no individual income tax.

Where Alaska federal employees work

Alaska has about 12,000 federal civilian employees, with large concentrations at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Eielson Air Force Base, Fort Wainwright and U.S. Coast Guard Base Kodiak. Wherever you work, the retirement rules are the same federal rules. What changes with your address is the tax picture above and which consultants are licensed to work with you.

How matching works in Alaska

1. Step 1

   Tell us where you are

   A free review, by phone

   The consultant reads your situation against the federal rules and your goals, in plain terms. If your plan already fits, you will hear that.

What the review covers

The consultant walks the same ground for every federal employee, in plain terms and against your own goals:

• Your retirement date. Eligibility, the FERS Supplement, COLA timing, and how the date shapes your first years of income.
• The survivor election. What it costs, what it protects, and how it affects FEHB for a spouse.
• FEHB and Medicare. The five-year rule, and how your plan coordinates with Medicare later.
• FEGLI. Which options you carry into retirement, and where coverage stops earning its cost.
• The TSP. How it is invested today and how you will turn it into income once the paychecks stop.
