Retirement tax questions

For Employee SIMPLE IRA contributions, the IRS info does not mention contributions required to be a % of salary; just a total for the year ($12,500 for 2018, plus $3,000 catch-up if eligible), and that deposits must be made within 30 days after each month.

For Self-Employed persons, deposits must be made by January 30th for the prior year.

If your business issues you a Corrected W-2 and you applied for an Extension, you should still be able to report your contributions for 2018.
