Retirement tax questions

Hi @dmertz 

Thanks for your response!

For the 2019 tax year, the tax filing deadline was extended from April 15th to July 15th, 2020.

The extension is not just for filing, but also for making 2019 contributions to a 401K. (IRS Notice 2020-18)

 

Since the distribution occurred in May 2020, prior to the July 15th extended deadline for the 2019 return, wouldn't IRC 402 (g) (2) (C)  still apply in this case?
