That is the amount that they took out of your paycheck each paycheck - the 0.8% is aftertax dollars so when you get your retirement 1099-R the portion attributable to your FERS contribution is not taxable (similar to Roth but it doesn't earn anything). It should be on you 1099R each year for however many years until it is all used up and then everything will be taxable. IRS has formula to figure it out based on your age/method. Tax program should come up with the same thing.
