CAN AN INDIVIDUAL FILE A TAX RETURN, CLAIM/DEDUCT A TRADITIONAL IRA CONTRIBUTION, AND MAKE THE CONTRIBUTION BEFORE THE APRIL 15TH DEADLINE, BUT AFTER THE RETURN WAS FILED?
Yes. They get until May 17 to do it this year.
Sure, I have people that get their refunds in February and use them to fund the IRA contribution that was included on the return.
