I am retired, and started RMD last year. I am looking forward to using the ROTH conversion to meet RMD requirements WHILE being able to grow my TSP.
My understanding is I can convert the RMD amount to ROTH, pay the required taxes using other funds, and still keep my total TSP investments the same (i.e. currently 20% of $550,000 in L2060; 80% in I -- with annual return at 8% to-date this year). Is that true?

Re: ROTH with RMD
You can not satisfy the RMD with a conversion. You will need to take the RMD first. Once the RMD is satisfied, then you can convert any amount after that to Roth.
I am just an average Joe. I have no clue to what the market will do.

Re: ROTH with RMD
Scarfinger is correct. The only way you can put any of the RMD in a Roth is if you have W2 or SE earnings, are under the contribution limits and within the annual limits
