Where to Find TSP Account Number on Annual Statement?

The Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) is a retirement savings and investment program available to federal employees and members of the uniformed services. This plan operates similarly to a private sector 401(k) plan, offering tax advantages for participants. Managing your TSP account effectively requires knowing your unique TSP account number. Your annual statement is a primary resource for locating this number.

Locating the Account Number on Your Annual Statement

Your TSP account number is displayed on your annual statement. For physical statements, the 13-digit account number is found on the front page, often in the top right-hand corner or within a summary box. It is clearly labeled as “Account Number” or “TSP Account #”.

If you access your annual statement electronically through the official TSP website, log into your “My Account” section. Navigate to your participant mailbox where your statements are posted. Once you open the digital statement, your account number will be visible on the profile page or account summary tab.

Alternative Methods to Find Your TSP Account Number

If your annual statement is not readily available, there are other ways to retrieve your TSP account number. The official TSP website provides a portal where you can access your account information. By logging into your “My Account” section with your username and password, you can find your account number displayed on your profile or account summary page.

If you have difficulty logging in or have forgotten your credentials, the website offers a “forgot your account number or user ID” link. This feature may require you to provide personal identification information, such as your Social Security Number, after which your account number can be mailed to your address of record. You can also contact the TSP ThriftLine at 1-877-968-3778. When calling, be prepared to provide identifying information to verify your identity, and the TSP can then mail your account number to the address on file.

Common Reasons You Need Your TSP Account Number

Your TSP account number is required for various interactions with your retirement plan. You will need it when logging into your TSP account online or accessing automated services through the ThriftLine. It is also required when applying for a TSP loan or completing official TSP forms.

If you need to contact TSP customer service for assistance, providing your account number helps representatives quickly identify your record. This ensures that transactions, inquiries, and updates are accurately attributed to your specific retirement savings plan.
