Converting traditional IRA to TSP and Roth

0

Q. If I have a traditional IRA worth $100,000 with a basis (post-tax contributions) of $20,00, can I roll over $80,000 to TSP and the other $20,000 convert to a Roth? Would these two actions result in a tax-free transaction?

A. Yes, a special rule allows for this to be done.
