Hi everyone,
I have a question, and it may be a dumb one. I am new to all this, but am very excited to have finally seen the light, and I am trying to learn fast about saving and investing. I make a living through multiple part-time government jobs. I contribute to an IRA I have with Vanguard, and additionally, though one of my jobs, I make mandatory contributions to a TSA that is an "Alternative to Social Security." I will be leaving that job, and I don't really know what I'm supposed to do with the TSA. I know that once I leave the job, I am allowed to make withdrawals from the account, but I would pay tax on that. Is it possible to roll it into my IRA, or should I keep it in its current form but transfer it to Vanguard? If I roll it into my IRA does it count as a contribution? (It's a small amount, I haven't been at the job long). Thanks for your help!
