GeorgeM Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Can you contribute to an IRA before Ajpril 15, 2014, for tax year 2013, and file the return in 2015. I have looked through jpub 590 and can not find anything about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrichman333 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) I believe it April 15th for the previous year only. So April 15th for 2014. There are no catch ups Page 11 pub 590 Contributions must be made by due date. Contributions can be made to your traditional IRA for a year at any time during the year or by the due date for filing your return for that year, not including extensions. For most people, this means that contributions for 2014 must be made by April 15, 2015, and contributions for 2015 must be made by April 15, 2016 Edited March 19, 2015 by mrichman333 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljwalters Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 The simple answer is yes if the contribution was made before April 15 1014 or 2013 tax year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I though she want to make the contribution now. If she made it before April 15 2014 yes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry D EA Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 I agree as well as long as she made the contribution for TY 2013 prior to April 15, 2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cathy Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 George, Just make sure the client can document the contribution was made timely and recorded as a contribution for the 2013 tax year. We all know whose problem it will be if the contribution was't made properly. Make a copy of the documentation for your records. No documentation - no deduction. I become mean this time of year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
