Get matched with a Federal Retirement Consultant in New Hampshire

Getting matched in New Hampshire

New Hampshire 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 New Hampshire reads your plan with that in view.

How New Hampshire taxes a federal retirement

New Hampshire taxes no earned income and no retirement income, so your FERS annuity is not taxed by the state. Its only individual income tax was the Interest and Dividends tax, which never reached pension or annuity payments and has now been repealed.

Traditional TSP withdrawals are not taxed by New Hampshire at any age. The repealed Interest and Dividends tax applied only to interest and dividend income, never to retirement plan distributions.

New Hampshire does not tax Social Security benefits and never has, because it has no broad-based individual income tax.

   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.
