Transferring into Roth TSP

0

Q. I deposited a little money into my Thrift Savings Plan, tax free, about five years ago, when I was in the military serving in Iraq. Since this money is in effect post tax, would it be possible to transfer it from my traditional TSP account to a Roth TSP account, thus allowing it to accrue tax-free interest?

A. It is possible. Consult a competent tax adviser for advice about if, when and how you should do it.
