Contrary to what many people think, an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) can be opened or contributed to at any time during the year, not just at tax time. A Traditional or Roth IRA can be funded any time up until the tax filing deadline of the following year. For tax year 2016, the tax filing deadline is 4/18/2017. And, the Traditional IRA contribution can still be deducted* from income taxes of eligible investors. However, the earlier in the year an IRA is opened, the greater the long-term accumulation potential.
