Contribute to an IRA Before the May 17th Deadline
Taxpayers of all ages may be able to claim a deduction on their 2020 tax return for contributions made to their Individual Retirement Account made through April 15, 2021. And unlike in past years, there is no longer a maximum age for making IRA contributions. Contributions to a traditional IRA are usually tax deductible, while distributions are generally taxable. There is still time to make contributions that count for a 2020 tax return, so long as the contributions are made by April 15, 2021.
The good news is that taxpayers can file their return claiming a traditional IRA contribution before the contribution is actually made, but the contribution must then be made by the April due date of the return. While contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible, qualified distributions are tax-free. In addition, low- and moderate-income taxpayers making these contributions may also qualify for the Saver’s Credit.

What Will You Do With Your Tax Refund?
With each passing year the age-old question remains; what will you do with your tax refund?
Before you get online and buy something new and shiny, grab a pen and paper (or maybe just the note app on your phone) and commit yourself to first distributing the money where you need it and then setting aside a portion to treat yourself.
Perhaps even consider adding it to your investments and check back next year to see how much it changed.
