Q. I retired from the Postal Service approximately eight years ago after 11 years of service to pursue other aspirations. I am curious about the chance and opportunity to be reinstated. I am nearing age 40 and would like to get back into a solid foundation.

When I started work at the Postal Service, I bought my military time back so it would count toward retirement, so my service date is Sept. 1, 2001 (actually started in 2006). I am 46 years old now and I am looking to leave the USPS within three to four years. What options do I have for retirement? Could you explain deferred annuity and any other options available to me?

Q. I withdrew my CSRS for a bit of service with the Postal Service in 1990. I then was rehired by the Postal Service and have just retired.

Can I deduct that redeposit somehow from my federal tax return for this year?
