Retiring at MRA in Pennsylvania?

[djlc86]

So I have a long ways to go until retirement, but I enjoy reading up on the topic. Anybody on here retired and living in PA? I've read that PA doesn't recognize federal exceptions for taking 401(k)/TSP distributions before 59.5 years old (Fed gives exception to folks who put in 30+ years and retired at their MRA)? PA taxes you on your 401(k)/TSP contributions (kind of in the spirit of a ROTH retirement vehicle), but doesn't tax your withdrawals, so it doesn't make sense to me that they would penalize you for withdrawing before 59.5, since they've already got their take upfront, why wouldn't they honor the federal exceptions?

Anyone have any first hand experience in regards to this?

Hi - I retired at 57 - my MRA - and didn't get taxed for all income in PA.
