2019 IRA Contribution Deadline Extended to July 15

Written By Salim Nathani

IRS extended the tax return filing date to July 15, 2020, from April 15, 2020, while also extending the 2019 IRA and Roth IRA contributions to July 15.

Normally, IRA contributions for a prior year must be made by April 15th of the following year. There have never been extensions to the IRA contribution deadline, even if the taxpayer filed for a tax filing extension.

In addition, the extended deadline applies to 2019 Health Savings Account, Archer Medical Savings Account, and Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA) contributions.
