Title: 401(K) Rollover to TSP
Post by: SethB on April 15, 2016, 05:30:22 PM

I have a Roth 401(k) from a job I left a year ago sitting with the manager in a money market account.

I'd like to see if I can roll it into my TSP that I have through the Army Reserve.

Has anyone done this?

I honestly don't know whether this is even possible (i tend to doubt it) - but why not roll it over into a ROTH IRA?  You'll get to choose what you are invested in and you'll get all the ROTH benefits.  It's also a non-taxable event.

Agreed, but if you really want to, see this link
