Turned 70.5 in Jan. 2018. TT allows me to deduct IRA contributions on my 2017 filing. Advisor thinks i can't. I'm on the cusp for 2017 & 2018 since i'm 70.5 in Jan 2018. But TT says i can. And it makes a big difference in refund and amt owed. Can i or Can't i deduct the ira contribution for 2017's filing?

As you are not yet 70 1/2 on the last day on 2017, you can still contribute to your Traditional IRA for tax year 2017. TurboTax is correct.

The IRS claims we did not file in 2008 but since it was so long ago we no longer have records I have no proof and they claim they no longer either. What can I do?
