Just like any other IFT. By going to the TSP web
site and changing your percentages.
"Do you make an IFT but leave the percentages as they are"
You can leave the percentages as they are, but remember,
if your percentages show a number greater then OR less then
a whole number you can increase the percentages up to the
next whole number. ie... 1.01%--->2.00%,,,0.99%--->1.00%
"isn't that considered an IFT even though you didn't change anything"
Yes, every <1%IFT is considered a IFT, even if you keep the %'s
the same. By keeping the percentages the same, your treating
the account just like an L Fund and simply rebalancing your total
account to reflect the same percentages for the next day. Shares
will increase or decrease depending on the market going up or
down on the day you do the <1%IFT.
"are you actualy injecting money into the TSP by changing your payrole allotment"
Your taking new money from your paycheck and purchasing shares at
the closing price, on the day it actualy goes in.
"Its not clear how you actualy doing the mechanics of it"
As Nasa said in the previous post, check back and read the previous posts.
If you can't find the answer you seek, my thread has alot of information
"Squalebear's Account Talk" buried within it. But that will take alot of
searching. A better suggestion would be to keep asking questions.
