Don’t forget–You have until April 17 to make a 2017 contribution to your individual retirement account (IRA). If you don’t have an IRA, you can establish one and make your contribution by April 17. If your contribution is deductible, meeting the deadline can cut your 2017 taxes. Be sure to make clear to your bank or broker that the contribution is for 2017 even though you’re making it in 2018.
