IRA contribution

since tax day is extended to 7/15, does that mean we can contribute to an IRA up til 7/15 as well? what about if client files an extention? Thanks



Yes to 7/15/2020.  See Q&A 17 in the IRS’ FAQs:  https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/filing-and-payment-deadlines-questions-and-answers .

An extension filing has no effect on the IRA contribution deadline, and never did. For 2020, the due date is now 7/15 instead of 4/15, and with an extension to file to 10/15, the due date for contributions remains 7/15. For SEP IRA contributions an extension does advance the SEP contribution date to 10/15 as before.
