Also, IRA plans don’t need to be created by year end to make 2011 contributions. Consider looking into a Self Directed IRA at New Direction IRA. http://newdirectionira.com! Thanks!

The statement “you will pay taxes on your contribution” makes it sound like you will have to pay taxes later if you put money in a Roth today. A better way to state this would be to say “there is no tax deduction on Roth IRA contributions” since contributions to a ROTH are after-tax anyway (money goes in after taxes were taken out). There is nothing further to be done, even when filing taxes in April.

You know, for me it’s a “my glass is half-full” kinda thing.
