Tax-Sheltered Annuity (TSA) Annual Fee Deduction: What is "TSA Fee?"
December 28, 2012

Good news for those contributing to the UW Tax-Sheltered Annuity 403(b) Program! The annual fee for 2013 is $12 — reduced from $15 in 2012. This fee is deducted only in the years you contribute to the program.

If you are currently contributing to the TSA Program, your first paycheck in 2013 will have a "TSA FEE" of $12.00. For unclassified employees this is the January 2 paycheck, and for classified employees this is the January 10 paycheck.

Employees who start contributing after their first 2013 paycheck will have the $12 fee automatically deducted at the time of their first 2013 TSA contribution.

The TSA fee is deducted only once a year for each employee who contributes to the program. This very low administrative fee is used to defray costs of managing the program, including staying in compliance with IRS regulations.
