Taxation on transfers

0

Q. I am married, 60 years old and a FERS employee. I am not sure when I plan to retire, but I have a Thrift Savings Plan account and other investments. I would like to transfer as much as I can to the TSP account to have the best return. How will I be taxed on the money if it is going from one investment company to my account and then directly into TSP? Will it be taxable income for 2014 even if it was just a transfer?

A. Transfers from a retirement plan account into the TSP are not taxable.
