<prompt> Human: If I contributed less than 5.5k into my IRA before I file for taxes, but am looking to contribute to the limit by April of this year, do I wait until I have maxed that contribution before filing, or put the amount Ive contributed thus far?  <response>: You can do either. If you fill out with what youve contributed so far, though, youll have to file an amended return with the corrected final contribution amount later in order to get the deduction for those future contributions.
