Roth IRA’s yearly contributions

Wed, Dec 26, 2007

Retirement

In 2007 you are allowed to put in up to $4,000. In 2008 you will be allowed to put in up to $5,000. What is considered a year? Could I open a Roth IRA at the end of 2007 dump in $4,000 dollars then Jan. 1st 2008 put in $5,000 more? Or does it go by anniversary dates like credit cards?

    From what I remember, you have from january 1 2007 through April 15 2008 (tax deadline) to make FY 2007 RothIRA contributions. When making a contribution in 2008 for FY 2007, you need to let the investment firm know that it is intended for FY 2007.

    Great! Thank you. My Roth IRA is at American Funds, and you are correct. When I go to buy shares, there is a check box which says: 2008 Contribution, or 2007 Contribution. I have not reached the 2007 limit so I should probably still contribute to that correct?

    Definitely, it would only work to your advantage.

    The very heart of your writing while sounding agreeable in the beginning, did not settle properly with me personally after some time. Someplace within the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately just for a short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you would do nicely to help fill in those breaks. In the event you actually can accomplish that, I could certainly be impressed.
