As the April 15 tax deadline<\/a> approaches, some investors will soon make a last-minute individual retirement account<\/a> contribution.<\/p>\n

Tax day<\/a> is the deadline for 2025 IRA contributions<\/a>, which typically brings a surge in deposits \u2014 and this season is no different, according to Fidelity Investments.<\/p>\n

During the two weeks before March 20, average IRA contributions were up 18% compared to the previous five weeks, Fidelity data found. Nearly three-quarters of those deposits went to after-tax Roth IRAs<\/a> vs. traditional pre-tax IRAs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
