Question about Roth IRA

[Anonymous]

I want to open up a Roth IRA. It says the deadline for a given year is April 15. Does this mean I can put $5,000 in my account today, and then on April 16, I can start adding money again (for the 2013 year)?

Correct. I use T.Rowe Price, but Fidelity and Vanguard are awesome too.

Through April 15, 2013 you can contribute for the 2012 tax year.
From Jan 1 2013-April 15 2014 you can contribute for the 2013 tax year.

The 2012 contribution limits are $5000 if you are under 50, and $6000 if you are 50 and over.

The 2013 contribution limits are $5500 if you are under 50, and $6500 if you are 50 and over.

So if you are age 35, you can put $10,500 into a new account today, and meet your limits for tax years 2012 and 2013.

Vanguard. Go with Vanguard.
So today you can open an account with $
