To contribute to a Traditional IRA, you will need to open an account with a brokerage (like Fidelity or Vanguard) and contribute your funds (not to exceed the contribution limits for the year) to the account by the due date. For 2025, you can contribute up to $7,000 ($8,000 if age 50+), with a deadline of April 15, 2026. Your contributions may be tax-deductible depending on income and workplace plan coverage.
