You can file now.

You can file claiming an IRA contribution, even if you have not made one yet, as long as you do it before "Tax Day", this year April 18th, 2017.

Make sure the transaction is completed and that the financial institution is reporting it as a 2016 contribution.

But you do not need to wait for that to file.
