ANNOUNCEMENTS

* Employees will soon be able to designate some or all of their contributions to the Roth balance in their TSP accounts.  Traditional contributions are deducted on a pre-tax basis.  Roth contributions are taken out of your paycheck after your income is taxed.  However, when you withdraw from your Roth TSP funds, you will receive your contributions and earnings tax-free if you meet specific requirements.  Withdrawals from your traditional TSP accounts are taxed.  For more information, please click here.  You should consult with a financial advisor to see if making Roth contributions to your account would benefit you.
