Contribution date for SEP-IRAs?

Question

I know traditional IRAs contribution date is the due date of the return NOT including extensions. Is it the same for a SEP IRA? I couldn't find it specifically in pub 590, but I'm assuming that it's the same as a normal traditional IRA. Confirm?

Answer 1

You are looking at the wrong publication. You may want to check upon publication 560.

Deadline for setting up a SEP. You can set up a SEP for a year as late as the due date (including extensions) of your income tax return for that year.
