JARichardson Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 We have a one person DB plan sponsor: FY is calendar. PYE is 9/30/18. He contributed for the 2017 plan year in Feb 2018 and filed his 2017 tax return without extension. Then he made the 2018 deposit in September 2018 before the 2017/2018 PYE. Since he deposited the money during the plan year it will be listed on the 2017 SB but he'll deduct it in 2018. The 2017 PY max deduction doesn't cover the entire amount, but we have room in and time to amend the formula back to 10/1/2017 so it is deductible. We are concerned with the deposits during being split between the 2 tax years. I think that it is ok but would like another opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will impact your 10/1/2018 asset but it will not be counted as the 2018 PY contribution. It is possible that the 2018 PY contribution will still be required.

You need to be sure that your 2018 max deduction is enough to deduct the September contribution for the 2017 PY, and the 2018 PY contributions (if any).
