Maximizing your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) contributions before the April deadline can significantly enhance your retirement savings. For the 2024 tax year, individuals under 50 can contribute up to $7,000, while those 50 and older are eligible for an additional $1,000 catch-up contribution, bringing the total to $8,000. (vernickfinancial.com) Contributing the maximum amount not only reduces your taxable income for the year but also allows your investments to grow tax-deferred, potentially leading to substantial growth over time. For instance, a $7,000 contribution could grow to over $32,000 in 20 years with an average annual return of 8%. (nasdaq.com) To meet the contribution goal by the April 15, 2025 deadline, individuals under 50 would need to set aside approximately $1,400 per month, while those 50 and older would need to save about $1,600 per month. (nasdaq.com) If making the full contribution by the deadline isn’t feasible, consider setting up automated monthly contributions to spread the savings throughout the year. Additionally, if you receive a year-end bonus, you can use it to make a lump-sum contribution, reducing the amount needed from your regular income. (nasdaq.com) Remember, you have until the tax filing deadline, typically April 15, 2025, to make contributions for the 2024 tax year. Ensure that your IRA provider applies the contribution to the correct tax year to maximize its benefits. (vernickfinancial.com) By proactively contributing to your IRA before the deadline, you can take full advantage of the tax benefits and set a strong foundation for your retirement savings.
