One of the trickiest things about investing in retirement accounts is that by the time you know how much you could’ve contributed for a tax break, it’s too late (e.g., you can only make 401(k) contributions through Dec. 31).
But there are a few accounts in the tax-advantaged investing world that allow contributions right up until the tax deadline, making them incredible options for last-minute savings.
After all, I prefer deductions that come from investing over deductions for spending: Why would I spend $100 to save $32 when I could invest (read: keep) $100 to save $32?
Reminder: I’m not a licensed tax professional. Please consult your CPA and do your own research before making big money moves.
