A major update to the Thrift Savings Plan is now in effect, and it could have meaningful tax implications for federal employees and retirees.
In this episode of Rayna Retirement, Rayna Reyes explains the new ability for TSP participants to complete in-plan Roth conversions, effective January 28, 2026. She breaks down how Roth conversions work inside the TSP, what taxes apply when moving pre-tax dollars to Roth, and why planning ahead for the tax impact is essential.
Rayna also reviews key rules around Roth contributions, conversions, and growth, including five-year timelines and age-based considerations, and shares why thoughtful, smaller conversions may be more effective than large lump-sum moves.
