IRAs and 401(k)s are completely different and covered under different sections of the tax law even though they seem similar in many ways.
Sometimes, you can make a contribution to an IRA before April 15, and have it count as a deduction on the past year tax return. You would have had to contact a bank, investment advisor, or online investment company to open a private IRA for that deposit.
You can never make contributions to a 401(k) except by payroll deduction and the money is always counted toward the current year.
If you filed a tax return in which you stated that you planned to make a deductible IRA contribution before April 15, and you did not, you need to file an amended return to remove the contribution and pay the extra tax.
