The answer is 5 unmade decisions, not more dollars.If you are within a year or two of leaving federal service with a FERS pension and a healthy TSP balance, this is the time to stop asking "Am I okay?" and start asking "Have I decided?"

    Are You Waiting Too Long to Plan Your Roth TSP Strategy?

    If you are a federal employee in the final stretch before retirement, your Roth TSP conversion strategy could affect far more than just this year’s taxes. In this video, we walk through how traditional TSP balances, FERS pension income, Social Security, RMDs, and Medicare IRMAA can all stack together later in retirement.

    Many federal employees assume they will automatically be in a lower tax bracket after they retire. But for FERS retirees with a pension, Social Security, and a large traditional TSP balance, that assumption may create planning gaps that do not show up until years later.

    Whether you are trying to reduce future required minimum distributions, create more tax flexibility, or avoid common mistakes around Roth conversions, this episode shows why the timing of your TSP tax strategy matters.

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    IN THIS VIDEO YOU CAN LEARN

    ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

    Why Roth TSP conversions may matter before federal retirement
    How a traditional TSP balance can create future RMD pressure
    Why FERS pension income and Social Security can affect your tax bracket
    How larger RMDs may increase Medicare IRMAA risk
    Why “I’ll be in a lower tax bracket later” may not always apply to federal employees
    How a $50,000 per year Roth conversion example may change long-term tax outcomes
    Why having outside money to pay the tax bill is important before converting
    How Roth planning can give retirees more control over future income
