Investor Insights - November 2019
When it comes to depositing employer contributions into qualified retirement plans, we are often asked what the deadline is for making these contributions. Believe it or not, that is not an easy question to answer. I suppose one way to look at it is maybe there’s never really a deadline for depositing contributions. As long as you don’t mind paying a penalty tax, losing or delaying a tax deduction, or going through an IRS or DOL correction program, you can make your deposit whenever you want!
That is not a helpful answer, of course. What people want to know is, what’s the latest I can deposit my contribution without anything bad happening? That is an excellent question worth looking into.
