Retirement tax questions

You cannot do a 2019 *conversion* now.  A 2019 conversion had to be completed before Dec. 31, 2019.  Any conversion in 2020, is  a 2020 conversion reported next year on 2020 tax.

 

You can still make a 2019 Traditional IRA *contribution* prior to July 15, 2020 added to an amended 2019 tax return  either as a deductible contribution or a non-deductible contribution.

 

The July 15 date is for contributions only, not conversions.
