About this listen

The Roth TSP is powerful, but it’s not always the right move.

In this episode, Andrew McNair explains four times federal employees should seriously reconsider contributing to a Roth TSP, even though he personally loves Roth strategies.

Covered in this episode:
  • High-income years and why Roth can backfire

  • Charitable giving and Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCDs)

  • Peak earning years before retirement

  • Marriage, widowhood, and filing-status tax traps

  • How Roth vs. Traditional affects Medicare premiums and legacy planning


If you’re a FERS or CSRS employee, this conversation will help you avoid common tax mistakes and make smarter TSP decisions based on your situation—not generic advice.
