Q. I recently transferred my “entire” traditional Individual Retirement Account from Fidelity to the Thrift Savings Plan. When I started the IRA in 1983, I opened it with pretax money. From that, there was a front load cost. To the best of my knowledge,
they rolled all of it over. How does that affect the tax situation? Is that previously taxed money identified?
A. When you moved it into the TSP, you signed a statement that it was all pretax money. It will all be taxed as ordinary income when withdrawn.
