relocated before January 1, 2015 and received reimbursements during
calendar year 2018; (2) informs agencies that for employees who
relocated before January 1, 2015, and receive(d) reimbursements in
calendar year 2019 or later, GSA has determined that agencies will
follow the same procedures for those that relocated after January 1,
2015 in accordance with the current issuance of FTR Part 302-17; and

and local tax authorities to compute combined marginal tax rates.
