Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The IRS allows individuals to make contributions to their traditional 401(k) plans up until the tax filing deadline (usually April 15th) for the previous year. This means that Darren can still make contributions to his traditional 401(k) plan for the 2016 tax year before April 15, 2017 and treat them as though they were made during 2016.
