No.  I assume by TSP you are referring to the The Thrift Savings Plan.  TSP is a tax-deferred retirement savings and investment plan that offers Federal employees the same type of savings and tax benefits that many private corporations offer their employees under 401(k) plans. 

 

You cannot deduct investment losses in a retirement plan.
